This was just ok. I agree with Halcyon Eve -- too acidic for me but hubby liked it.

We liked this salad quite well, although we felt that it was a tad too acidic from the lime juice. I'd make it again, but I will want to try to find something to balance it a little more. Overall we really enjoyed the contrasting flavors and textures. Thanks so much for sharing, Mme Melissa!

great side for mexican/southwest dishes!! my only changes were to cut the recipe in half (just 2 of us) and sub fresh parsley for the cilantro. very tasty!! will make often. this is a real keeper!

I really liked this simple fresh salad, and I'm always looking for ways to use the radishes I get from CSA. Thanks!

OOOh this is sooo Good! I put it in the fridge while I cooked the rest of dinner and found there wasn't much left come dinner time because I kept taking bites of it! It has a nice crunch from the radishes and who can resist avocado. This would be great as a side to any grilled meat or Mexican dinner. Thanks Mme Melissa- I'll be using this recipe a lot!
