Radish Salad



Although I am from Belize, I had to make something to celebrate the 4th of July weekend. It has just become and custom for me and my family to celebrate the diversity and to learn about the culture of other countries. Of course we make it our own celebration but basically with the same concept, idea and mentality, so that we can experience the culture of it.
Bar B Q was going and hot dog and the full work, I made some traditional Belizean food also and like I had radishes in the garden I went and pulled some out. I made a delicious salad that everyone loved. Below is the recipe, hope you enjoy.

4 cups radishes, washed and sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup diced fresh tomato
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil or fresh mint
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Preparation:

Combine sliced radishes, onion, and tomato. Whisk together the salt, garlic, pepper, basil or mint, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. Toss with salad then garnish with parsley.
Serves 6
