Mushroom and Radish Salad with Yuzu Vinaigrette
Mushroom and radish lovers pay attention — this salad recipe will rock your world! These gorgeous shaved rainbow radishes are the star in this salad, combined with thinly sliced button mushrooms, and zesty vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is made with Japanese yuzu juice, a sour citrus fruit used both for its juice and its aromatic rind. Yuzu is a cross between a grapefruit and lime. The juice can be expensive if store-bought so we added some fresh lemon juice to balance out the flavors. Top this salad with your favorite herbs, like cilantro or mint. We threw a handful of radish sprouts on top to finish the dish. FYI — if you can’t find rainbow radishes, the regular variety will work just fine. This, my friends, is a delightful summer salad!
This mushroom and radish salad is A-mazing! So beautiful too!
Japanese yuzu juice can be found at select Asian and specialty markets. This sour citrus juice makes a perfect vinaigrette for this mushroom and radish salad!
Whisk together Japanese yuzu juice with freshly squeezed lemon juice, safflower oil, salt and pepper for an easy and light vinaigrette.
Rainbow radishes, also known as watermelon radishes, are so beautiful in this salad!

Thai Cucumber Salad
This vibrant Thai cucumber salad recipe comes from Katie Workman’s The Mom 100 food blog! It’s so easy and quick to prepare. From Katie: This salad features bright flavors, exciting textures, and the play of sweet and sour and salty happening in so many ways. Lemongrass, chilies, coconut milk, these ingredients are now popping up all over the country at supermarkets and it’s so much fun to work them into your home cooking. This simple salad features crunchy cucumbers, enhanced with just a bit of citrus, soy sauce and a few other Thai ingredients. Cilantro (sometimes also called Chinese parsley) is an herb people usually love or hate – few people feel “meh” about it, so if it’s not your thing, or someone at the table doesn’t like it, serve it on the side and let people add it to their own salads as they wish. If you want to bump up the flavor even further, substitute fish sauce for half of the soy sauce. It will add a layer of pungency to the dish! Thanks, Katie, for sharing this delicious salad recipe!
- 2 seedless cucumbers
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced shallots
- 3 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon cilantro leaves
- ¼ cup salted cocktail peanuts, lightly crushed
- Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthwise and remove any seeds with a teaspoon. Slice the cucumber into very thin slices crosswise, using a sharp knife or a mandolin. Trim the jalapeño, slice lengthwise, remove the seeds and finely mince.
- In a large bowl combine the jalapeño, shallots, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and stir to combine. Add in the cucumber and toss to combine. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or platter, top with the cilantro and peanuts and serve.
