Bright Crisp Salad

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about my latest side dish obsession: a bright, crisp salad that’s perfect for any meal. This one is super simple but packs a punch with flavor and texture. I’m talking pearl purple onions, cucumber, radishes, and bell peppers. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.

First up, those pearl purple onions. They’re not just a pretty face; they add this subtle sweetness and a gorgeous pop of color. Plus, they’re milder than regular onions, so they don’t overpower the rest of the ingredients. I love slicing them thin so you get just the right amount of flavor in every bite.

Next, cucumbers. You can’t go wrong with cucumbers in a salad. They’re so refreshing and add that perfect crunch. I usually go for the English variety since they have fewer seeds and a crispier texture. They really help to balance out the sweetness of the onions.

Radishes are another favorite of mine. They’re slightly peppery and add a lovely bite. Plus, their bright red color makes the salad look extra appealing. I slice them super thin so they blend well with the other ingredients without being too overpowering.

And then we have bell peppers. I like to use a mix of red, yellow, and orange ones. They’re sweet, crunchy, and add a beautiful rainbow of colors to the salad. It’s like eating sunshine! They also bring in a nice juicy crunch that pairs so well with the other veggies.

This Bright Crisp Salad is all about simple, fresh ingredients coming together to create something that’s more than the sum of its parts. It’s perfect as a side dish, but honestly, I sometimes make a big bowl of it and enjoy it as a light lunch. It’s that good! The flavor comes together with the delicious Garlic Expesssions salad dressing.

So, if you’re looking to add a bit of brightness and crunch to your meal, give this salad a try. It’s fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Your taste buds will thank you!
