RECIPE 6: minty roasted apple radish salad

Popping in for a minute to post this recipe I made for lunch today as part of my farm girl diet (yes, I'm still farming...but oh how my body aches). Its another six ingredient beauty. So simple, yet refreshingly delicious. And yes, this was my first time eating radishes as you already know from last week. The verdict? I don't have enough balls to eat them raw (they are like the love child of garlic and red onions, so a tad too spicy for my tastes) but roasted with the companion of a sweet fruit...oh it was heavenly. Let me know what you think!
