Actually, the song "Dancing Cheek to Cheek" was written by Irving Berlin, and sung by Fred Astaire to Ginger Rogers in "Top Hat" I think Frank Sinatra also made a recorded hit out of it.
- Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

OK Rachel, onions are carby for sure, but a small trade-off, I think, for all the flavour. Same for garlic ..
1/2 a small mature onion, nets about 3 Tbsp chopped = 2.7 total carbs, 0.8 fiber, so that's only 1.9 effective carbs.
Scallions (green onions) would work fine, I just find they burn faster! Scallions are about half the carbs of mature onions.
This brings me to the carb count listed in the book for the recipe ... Now that I have Netzer open in front of me -
onions - 2.7 / 0.8
radishes - 4.2 / 1.8 (assuming 1 cup chopped)
fat - 0
seasonings - 0.5
----------------------------------
for recipe - 7.4 gm total carbs; 2.6 gm fiber = 4.4 ECC per 2 servings.
daikon would be similar count, turnips would be a bit higher, but not much.
