This simple winter salad gets plenty of fresh crunch from a mix of radishes, and pungent richness from blue cheese. It's good without the apple too.

Ingredients

  8-in.-long piece daikon radish, peeled
 1/4 cup buttermilk
 2 tablespoons sour cream
 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup crumbled roquefort or other blue cheese
 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
 4 ounces mixed salad greens (about 4 cups loosely packed)
 3 red radishes, sliced into matchsticks
 1 watermelon radish, peeled and thinly sliced
 1/2 Fuji apple, sliced into wedges
