Shaved Radish, Carrot, Cucumber Salad with Tangerines and Microgreens

I keep seeing these gorgeous raw vegetable salads all over the web and I wanted one for myself.  So that's what I made for lunch the other day.  I started with beautiful, thinly sliced veggies...


Added some other goodies, and ended up with this masterpiece of a salad:


Pretty and fresh.  Healthy and tasty.  Win, win.  And it's a good thing too, because I ate the entire platter by myself.
