After getting my hands on a bunch of fresh radishes, I went on the lookout for a light and fresh radish salad recipe that was sweet enough to take the bitterness out of the radishes, but not as high in Weight Watchers Points.
Sunny Anderson from Food Network had a great one, so I used that as my guideline and altered her original version a bit. It turned out really, really good! My 1 year old daughter ate a ton of it! It’s so fresh and summery tasting, and each serving has just 1 Point.
It took me some extra time to julienne all of those little radishes, but the smaller pieces allowed for more of the sweet and tangy dressing to be absorbed. This helped get rid of the bitter taste of the radish. However, if you don’t mind that taste, then I’d suggest chopping your radishes into wedges if you want a quicker prep time.
But this Radish Salad Recipe is a great side to your favorite summer meal or picnic. Enjoy!
A sweet and tangy radish salad recipe that is really low in Weight Watchers Points and still tastes great. This dish is fresh, light, and full of flavor! It makes a perfect low calorie side dish to any summer meal and a great idea to serve at a summer BBQ in place of heavier, mayo based salads.

If radishes are too much for you, I bet using jicama would also be tasty!

Just sayin’–once upon a time, we had a bumper crop of radishes. And so did everyone else, because they gave us their surplus. So I had the bright idea to slice and saute them to serve as a side dish. WOW–so delicious!! Too delicious. Fab enough to have seconds. Big mistake! Within the hour, our abdomens were so distended and hard as rocks that we looked 3 months pregnant. Those little red jewels from our garden were VERY gassy. Perhaps moderation would have helped, but I approach them with caution nowadays :o)

Thanks for this delicious sounding recipe. As I am not a fan of cilantro, do you think subbing parsley or any other green herb would work? Thank you again for your amazing recipes that are WW friendly!!!

I’m not laaloosh…but I am a published gourmet cook (not chef, just cook). Any parsley can replace cilantro. Italian flat-leaf would be tasty, but curly leaf would be pretty!
