Note

For best texture, slice radishes as thinly as possible to reduce their peppery bite and allow them to blend better with the lettuce.

This salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the lettuce from wilting. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving.

You can substitute the wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for a different flavor profile.

Add sliced cucumbers or cherry tomatoes for extra crunch and color.
