Salad
Tip: A mandoline slicer is the perfect tool to quickly and evenly slice radishes for your salad. You can set the thickness to your preference, ensuring uniform slices in seconds, which makes prepping radishes a breeze.
Tip: If you love pickled radishes, use the Instant Pot to speed up the process. Simply add vinegar, water, salt, and your radishes to the Instant Pot, and pressure cook for 1-2 minutes for quick and flavorful pickled radishes.
Tip: For a warm and sautéed radish salad, use your induction stove. Sautéing on an induction stove gives you fast and even heat, allowing you to cook radishes in a fraction of the time compared to traditional stovetops.
For the best flavor and crunch, select firm, fresh radishes with smooth skins. Their vibrant color will add appeal to your salad.
Pair your radishes with fresh greens like arugula, spinach, or mixed lettuce to balance their peppery flavor with a mild, leafy base.
If you prefer a milder taste, try quick-pickling the radishes in vinegar, sugar, and salt for a zesty and tangy addition to your salad.
Radishes go wonderfully with creamy cheeses like goat cheese, feta, or ricotta. The richness of the cheese complements the radish’s sharpness.
For extra texture, add toasted almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds. These ingredients add both crunch and richness to the salad.
A tangy citrus dressing with lemon or lime can enhance the natural crispness of the radishes while adding a refreshing zest to the overall flavor.
