The flavors, colors and textures of this recipe just sing of spring: crunchy pink radishes, fresh mint, green peas, and white tangy feta. When mixed with quinoa, you have an easy dinner side dish or a main course for lunch. Leave the feta off for a vegan version.

 

Dr. Blake’s Top Tip: The dressing should become a household staple as well. It’s simple, tangy and versatile.
