Raw vegetable salads are so easy to make and surprising tasty. When thinly sliced, an otherwise bitter vegetable like the radish morphs into a sweet, crisp salad. If you are following our $68 Dinner Story, reserve 2 radishes from your bunch for the Roasted Beet Salad with Flash-Pickled Radishes and Chard.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 bunch radishes (about 1/2 pound)

2–3 medium carrots (about 1/2 pound)

2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons white wine or Champagne vinegar

3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons capers

4 ounces drained oil-packed canned flaked tuna (about 3/4 cup)

2 tablespoons parsley leaves

Preparation

Step 1
Slice radishes into very thin rounds. Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrots lengthwise into long, thin slices. Combine 2 tsp. salt and 3 cups ice water in a medium bowl and soak radishes and carrots for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, pepper, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl until combined. Whisk in oil in a slow stream.
Step 3
Toss radishes, carrots, and capers in a large bowl with just enough vinaigrette to coat. Divide among 4 plates and top with tuna and parsley; drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and top with a few grinds of black pepper.
