Watermelon radishes brighten dishes with their color and peppery flavor. Enjoy them while they’re peaking in the spring with this simple little gem salad.
Tossed with just a couple accouterments, nutty pecans and salty-funky Pecorino cheese (although Parmigiano-Reggiano would also work here), these blushing radishes get a chance to shine in this recipe. Inspired by the traditional flavor pairing of radishes and butter, we dress the salad in a brown butter vinaigrette. Browning the butter is well worth the effort too, adding depth to the dressing and even more nuttiness to the radishes, which are cooked in the golden fat just until tender.
