It goes well with most dishes out there. I personally love it with a lentil soup or lentil curry
My sister, who came up with the recipe, loves it with ribs or tacos.

Broccoli and radish are filling enough and work well if turned into a weight loss salad. It's gluten-free, low carb, and diabetic-friendly.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge.
To meal prep this salad, I recommend to keep the fresh vegetables and salad dressing ingredients separate.
That way the salad will hold better in the fridge in an airtight container.
