This recipe is an incredibly simple salad that requires no cooking at all! The radish slices provide a nice crunch that goes well with the garlic Parmesan dressing!
I used an arugula mix for the lettuce, but you can use any kind of lettuce you’d like. I also used Dijon mustard for the dressing, but if this is something you don’t have, regular mustard will do the trick.
I would highly recommend buying a brick or triangle of Parmesan cheese to grate it yourself if possible. Many store-bought and pre-grated cheeses contain starches so it won’t clump together, but that means there are extra carbs.
Again, this is an incredibly easy, tasty and a quick lunch to make for the work week.
