Description

This vibrant Herb and Radish Salad combines the crispness of thinly sliced radishes with a fresh mix of parsley, mint, and dill. Toasted walnuts bring a crunchy texture and rich flavor, while crumbled feta adds a creamy, tangy contrast. The salad is dressed in a light, zesty vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of honey, making it a refreshing and easy-to-prepare dish perfect for a quick lunch or a side.


Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill fronds
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Vinaigrette

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the greens and radishes: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced radishes with fresh parsley, mint, and dill leaves. Toss gently to ensure all the herbs are evenly mixed with the radishes.
  2. Add walnuts and feta cheese: Sprinkle the toasted and chopped walnuts along with the crumbled feta cheese into the salad bowl, distributing them evenly to add crunch and creaminess.
  3. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until the mixture emulsifies into a smooth dressing.
  4. Toss the salad with dressing: Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together to coat the radishes, herbs, walnuts, and feta evenly with the dressing.
  5. Serve and garnish: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its fresh flavors and textures. Optionally, garnish with additional walnuts or fresh herbs for extra visual appeal and taste.

Notes

  • Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant to enhance their flavor.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta with crumbled tofu or vegan cheese and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; however, the radishes may lose some crunch.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially depending on the saltiness of the feta cheese.
  • Feel free to add other fresh herbs you like, such as chives or basil, to customize the flavor.
