Radish, fennel and mint salad is great as a light starter served with prawns or smoked salmon, or it can be served as a side salad. This salad goes particularly well with grilled fish, or you can have it with chicken - it's just as nice! It looks really lovely and fancy dished up so it's great for when you're having friends round and you want to impress!

Method
- Pour the vinegar into a small saucepan and add the sugar and salt. Place the pan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and then boil the vinegar for 2-3 mins until it thickens a little and is slightly syrupy. Pour the syrup into a bowl and leave it to cool.
- Stir the fennel, radish and mint into the syrup, and leave it to marinate for at least 30 mins before serving, so the vegetables will absorb the flavours.
- Serve with prawns or smoked salmon, if liked (not suitable for freezing).
Top Tip for making Radish, fennel and mint salad
Woman's Weekly cookery editor Sue McMahon says: When buying radishes, choose ones that feel firm, and avoid any that are starting to go wrinkly.
