Cucumber Radish Salad

Today marks day one of transition for our Spring Cleanse, so in honor of this time of renewal and growth, and all our current cleansers, I’ve tossed together one of my all-time favorite recipes.

Cucumber Radish Salad!

Cucumber-Radish-Salad-Conscious-CleanseNothing says spring to me quite like radishes do. They’re always the first to pop up in our garden at home, signaling the tasty beginning of the bountiful harvest ahead.

Radishes could be the perfect Spring Cleanse food. Known for cleansing the liver, radishes help improve digestion and prevent constipation. Radishes are also a great source of vitamin C, fiber and potassium.

Enjoy this crunchy, creamy salad chilled on a hot afternoon. It’s hydrating, fresh and delicious!

What’s on your Spring Cleanse menu? I’d love to hear from you, so please leave me a comment below.

With love and spicy radishes,

I receive many cooking periodicals but yours is the one I continually refer to. I love your recipes!! So fresh and delicious!! I’m glad you post new recipes as a update to the recipes in your book!! I was never a green drinker before reading your book, and now I look forward to it everyday!! Your psychology makes sense and is very easy to follow!! Made your cucumber radish salad with your turkey spinach burgers for dinner tonight. Delish!!

    So good!! I was out of lemons so used a lemon olive oil and extra vinegar. Also added chickpeas for some extra protein. Winner. Thanks!

    Recipe sounds amazing! I’m allergic to cucumbers… what would you recommend as a replacement?

  • Chris Jones

    We pulled half of the ingredients out of our garden. This was delicious. We’re going to give this a shot. Knowing Jules from a lifetime ago I have complete faith.

    • Jo and Jules
