What is in a radish salad?
Unlike Caesar salad or a cobb salad, a radish salad does not have a set definition and can contain anything you like! As seen in this recipe, radishes pair perfectly with juicy cucumbers sliced up thin. For a light, zesty dressing, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice are all this salad needs, with the addition of salt and pepper, of course. Fold in ¼ cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy and tangy addition. The other key players in this salad beyond the radishes and cucumbers are some tantalizing fresh herbs—green onion for a little bite, along with fresh parsley and dill for a pop of green and an extra layer of flavor.
How do you thinly slice vegetables for radish salad?
Radishes can be hard to slice evenly, given they are so small and round. The easiest way to get evenly sliced veggies is by investing in a mandoline. They won’t break the bank and you’ll find yourself using it for all kinds of slicing jobs, like cutting even slices of eggplant for eggplant parmesan.
Can you make radish salad in advance?
This salad is a great side dish to pack up and bring along to a potluck or picnic, but keep in mind that the cucumbers will make the salad watery over time. This salad should be enjoyed within 2 days.
