French breakfast radishes have an elongated shape and sweeter taste than their rounder counterparts. For extra crispness, soak radishes in ice water for 1 to 2 hours before using.
Note: I like to substitute cooked green beans or asparagus for the long green scallions, and have added corn to this recipe and liked it very much.

Dressing
-
In a medium to large covered skillet, cook the onion in the oil over medium-low heat for 13 to 15 minutes, or until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until onions are golden. Remove from heat and cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir in onion mixture.
Cover and chill up to 1 week. Makes about 1½ cups.
Salad
- In a large saucepan, cook blackeyed peas, covered, in lightly salted boiling water for 40 minutes or until tender. Drain. Rinse with cold water until beans feel cold. Drain well. Place whole green onions on a platter and arrange salad greens on top. Top with radishes. Spoon peas over radishes. Sprinkle all with coarse salt. Serve with dressing.
