Super easy, super delicious! Sushiman and I had this for supper, the two of us just ate the whole thing. I used a local cheese that is just a bit saltier than feta, but even with that the 1/2 teaspoon of salt was not quite enough for our taste. I especially loved the crunch of the radishes in the salad.
