When spring descends upon the South with its warming glory, simple salads like this one are blessed additions to your dinner menu.
A foundation of crunchy yet tender romaine lettuce shares the spotlight with crisp, peppery radishes and sweet pops of juicy orange segments.
Teamed up with Ginger Carrots and Potato-and-Rutabaga Gratin, this fresh and easy salad is the perfect low-lift side dish to accompany Roasted Lamb with Fresh Herb Sauce.
