Sugar Snap Pea and Radish Salad
A mandoline is ideal for slicing radishes into perfect thin rounds, but a sharp knife also works. The vegetables can be trimmed and sliced a few hours ahead. To keep them crisp, wait to toss them with the other ingredients until just before serving.

REST OF MY COMMENT: TO TURN TO AND BE STORED IN THE BODY AS 'F A T'
OH DEAR! ORANGE JUICE IS SWEET ON ITS OWN, NEVER ADD MORE SUGAR. IF THE LEMON 'JUICE' IS TO STRON START WITH A LITTLE AND TASTE UNTIL YOU HAVE IT JUST AS YOU LIKE IT. EVEN A LITTLE SUGAR ADDED TO A MEAL WILL CAUSE YOUR BODY TO PRODUCE INSULIN WHICH IN TURN WILL CAUSE ALL THE FOOD IN THAT MEAL TO TURN
The lemon zest was much too strong. In the second try I omitted the zest, and added a little orange juice and sugar.
