Had this today for lunch. To start with, I'm a huge radish fan and the combination of radishes with the other veggies plus the mildness of the Swiss cheese was a nice blend of flavors. Then the dressing--great! The tanginess from the vinegar & mustard, the soft celery taste of the celery seeds & the garlic (2 cloves)--mm-mm-mm-mm-mm! Another terrific concoction, Rita!
