This satisfying grain salad showcases the beauty and flavor of an array of cool-season vegetables—fennel, scallions, and radishes. Although available year-round, fresh radishes are one of the first vegetables harvested in early spring and are a harbinger of the season. Look for unusual varieties such as White Icicle (a long white radish) or French Breakfast (a slender elongated red and white radish). They add peppery flavor to so many dishes and are delicious tossed with olive oil and roasted too. Serve this salad with a piece of poached chicken or salmon topped with a few capers and a squeeze of lemon.
