Spring Pea and Radish Salad- Taste Of Home Tuesday!

I've mentioned it a few times, but in 2015, I was chosen to be a Community Cook for Taste of Home magazine.   I've got binders full of the magazines, plus cookbooks, and I've tried over 150 recipes from their site and publications.  

Part of my duties as a Community Cook is to submit original recipes, and I admit, I originally found this daunting.   I've pecked away at it, remaking some family favorites, recreating restaurant dishes, etc.   Some things I hesitate to submit, are they too simple?  Too specific to our family?

Then I got the "Congratulations" email- one of my recipes had been chosen for publication!   I was so excited, even more so after my issue arrived.   The Test Kitchen and photography team took that simple salad and made it so elegant and beautiful.

You can get the April/May issue of Taste of Home in stores now, or you can visit www.TasteofHome.com for subscription deals.
