Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 bunch radishes, sliced 1/8 inch thin
  • 1 lemon (juice and zest)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, torn
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice Radishes: Slice the radishes thinly and evenly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline if possible, to ensure consistent thickness for even flavor absorption.
  2. Lemon and Salt Massage: Place the sliced radishes in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from half the lemon over them, then add a big pinch of salt. Massage the radishes gently for 1 to 2 minutes to soften them and mellow their natural bite.
  3. Add Dressing: Add the olive oil, grated Parmesan, and torn fresh dill to the bowl. Toss everything gently to combine and coat the radishes evenly.
  4. Plate and Garnish: Arrange the radishes on a serving plate. Top with lemon zest, extra Parmesan cheese, additional torn dill, and freshly ground black pepper for a fresh, aromatic finish.
  5. Serve: Serve the salad immediately to preserve the crispness and vibrant flavors. Avoid making this salad too far ahead as the radishes can wilt if dressed too early.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for consistent radish thickness, which helps in even flavor absorption.
  • Perform the lemon and salt massage just before adding the dressing to avoid soggy radishes or harsh flavors.
  • Do not store the radish salad once dressed; keep radishes undressed and dress fresh to maintain texture.
  • Zest the lemon after plating to keep its oils fresh and fragrant.
