Crunchy Celery, Radish and Turnip Salad-Slaw in Blue Cheese Sauce
This crunchy salad-slaw adds a nice cool element to many dishes. I use it in spring and all summer long on hotdogs, in tacos or just as a salad with any meal. Today it was a delicious addition to our dinner’s roasted chicken and Tortilla Española.
