This was a tasty salad, though I did use a higher proportion of oranges to radishes and onion and cut the olive oil to only 1 tablespoon.

I think I love the radishes in this the most! This salad is so pretty and colorful and the contrasting flavors really work. My red onions were quite large so I used only one; I put the garlic through a press and did add a little grated orange rind.
