Fresh Summer salad made with lettuce, kale and radishes, drizzled with a simple olive oil lime dressing on top. This is a delicious, healthy garden salad!
Kale and Radish Salad
This salad is 100% picked from the garden which always makes me very happy. It’s made with a lettuce and kale with sliced radishes thrown in.
I prefer oil based dressings instead of creamy, so I made a simple lime dressing to go on top. To balance out the sour taste of the lime, we add in a little bit of sugar.

How to Make Lime Dressing
Lime dressing is one my favorites – I love not only adding this on salads, but it’s great on pasta and even drizzled on avocado too – yum!
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, sugar and salt & pepper. Keep stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. If you think you need more sweetness, you can add a little bit more sugar, or on the opposite side, add less if you prefer more of a savory salad dressing.
If you really love the dressing, you can even double, triple (or more) this recipe and keep it in a bottle in the fridge!
Recipe Tweaks
This is such a great salad to tweak and to use what you’re growing or in season at the farmers market.
- Use lettuce or arugula for your greens. You can even do a little bit of each.
- Instead of lime juice, you can use lemon juice.
- Add in cherry tomatoes if your tomato plants are giving you too many.
- For a crunch, add in chopped up carrots, sunflower or sesame seeds.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top when serving in bowls.
I hope you enjoy this delicious fresh greens and radish salad!

We have pizzas on Friday nights and no, I don’t always make my own. I buy them like you do and when served with a lovely salad and some crusty bread, make a very adequate family meal. I like the look of all that cheese on your frozen pizza and the lime dressing sounds really good xx
