Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 bunch radishes, sliced 1/8″ thick
  • 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 & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice Radishes: Slice the radishes thinly and evenly, approximately 1/8 inch thick, using a knife or mandoline for consistency. Add the slices to a mixing bowl.
  2. Lemon-Salt Massage: Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the radishes, then add a generous pinch of salt. Massage the radishes gently for 1 to 2 minutes to soften them slightly and infuse them with bright, tangy flavors.
  3. Add Dressing Ingredients: Pour in the olive oil, add the grated Parmesan cheese, and sprinkle the torn fresh dill over the radishes. Toss gently and carefully to combine all the ingredients evenly without bruising the radishes.
  4. Plate and Garnish: Transfer the dressed radishes to a serving plate. Top with lemon zest, extra Parmesan cheese, additional dill, and freshly ground black pepper for an aromatic finish.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the salad right away to preserve the crisp texture and fresh flavors. Avoid storing the dressed salad as the radishes will become soggy.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer to ensure uniform radish thickness, which helps achieve consistent flavor and texture.
  • Perform the lemon and salt massage just before adding the dressing; doing it too early results in soggy radishes, while doing it too late makes the taste harsh.
  • Do not store the salad once dressed, as radishes wilt in oil. Keep radishes undressed and assemble just before serving if preparing ahead.
  • Zest the lemon after plating to keep the oils fresher and more fragrant.
