Scale

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 cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, torn
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice Radishes: Thinly and evenly slice the radishes about 1/8 inch thick and place them into a mixing bowl.
  2. Massage with Lemon and Salt: Squeeze juice from half the lemon over the sliced radishes. Add a generous pinch of salt, then gently massage the radishes for 1 to 2 minutes; this softens them slightly and helps meld the flavors.
  3. Add Dressing and Herbs: Drizzle the olive oil over the radishes, add the grated Parmesan cheese and torn fresh dill, then toss the mixture gently to combine all ingredients well without bruising the radishes.
  4. Plate and Garnish: Transfer the dressed radishes onto a serving plate. Garnish with the lemon zest, additional Parmesan cheese, more fresh dill, and a sprinkle of black pepper to enhance flavor and presentation.
  5. Serve Immediately: For the best texture and freshness, serve the radish salad immediately after preparation.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, soak sliced radishes briefly in cold water before slicing.
  • This salad is best consumed fresh as the radishes can lose their crispness over time.
  • Use fresh and high-quality Parmesan cheese for the richest taste.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.
  • Can be paired well with grilled meats or as a refreshing appetizer.
