Salad Ingredients
- 1 bunch radishes, sliced 1/8″ 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
- Slice Radishes: Thinly and evenly slice the radishes to about 1/8 inch thickness, ideally using a mandoline for consistent slices. Place them in a mixing bowl.
- Lemon-Salt Massage: Squeeze the juice from half the lemon over the sliced radishes, then add a generous pinch of salt. Massage them gently for 1 to 2 minutes to soften slightly and enhance flavor without making them soggy.
- Add Dressing Ingredients: Pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add the 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and toss in 2 tablespoons of torn fresh dill. Gently toss everything together to combine evenly.
- Plate and Garnish: Transfer the radish salad to a serving plate. Top with freshly grated lemon zest, extra Parmesan cheese, additional torn dill, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for an aromatic finish.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the salad fresh to enjoy the crisp texture and bright flavors. Avoid storing the dressed salad, as the radishes will wilt in the dressing over time.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer to ensure uniform radish thickness for consistent flavor and texture.
- Perform the lemon and salt massage immediately before adding dressing to avoid soggy or harsh radishes.
- Do not store the salad once dressed; keep radishes undressed if preparing in advance and dress right before serving.
- Zest the lemon after plating for maximum freshness and fragrance of the oils.
