I made this exactly as written for an Easter brunch, with Daikon radishes. So delicious! Great texture, awesome colors and everyone raved. Thank you!

I never realised how much I liked radishes until I made this recipe! A delicious slaw. I used stilton as I couldn't find gorgonzola, couldn't find young turnips either so I peeled the fibrous skin off a normal turnip and sliced that up. Yum yum!

what about using daikon (from CSA) instead of young turnip (wish i had those) -- so: daikon + red radish + celery : would that work? or would it benefit from some sweetness - eg) thin discs of winter carrot? opinions please.

I made this last night to pair with our beer-braised sausage and potato dinner, and it was PERFECT! It's so crunchy and delicious and the sauce is made of magic, I'm pretty sure. The flavors that came together blew me away. It's tart, it's creamy, it's awesome. Definitely making this for my bleu-cheese-loving dad the next time I visit home!

I make this often as it is hubby's favorite. I use apple cider vinegar instead of lime. I use Roquefort or Danish blue and Roaring Forties Blue (very salty). Roaring Forties is delicious but taste it first before adding salt to any recipe using it. The flavor is superb. I am happy you posted this delicsious recipe!

Here is wonderful vinaigrette:
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds and membranes removed, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or any herb of your choice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Whisk orange juice, lime juice, jalapeño, 2 tablespoons dill, and zest in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup oil; season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into a mason jar with a tight lid; keep in refrigerator and use as much as you need for the salad. I like to keep the salad and vinaigrette separately in the fridge. Enjoy!

Wow, how delicious this was with dinner tonight. This recipe inspired me to purchase sweet japanese turnips for the first time. Looking forward to leftovers for lunch this week.

Thank you RANDI!!! It is so good to know that people are making my salad and like it. I just want to suggest keeping the chopped vegetables and herbs separately from the sauce and only combine everything right before serving.

This is a fabulous salad. I made it tonight for an impromptu get together and everyone loved it. Your blue cheese sauce is SO good - I especially love the lime in there. I'll be making this all summer. Thanks for the recipe!!
