This radish salad is simply delicious, with the fresh flavors of chive, parsley, and lemon!

Every bite of radish salad is a slice of springtime! Simple, bright flavors are all you need to make spicy sweet radishes sing! Julienning radishes makes all the difference: each little matchstick is coated with lemony vinaigrette! With an optional sprinkle of black sesame seeds, you’ll have a stunning salad that tastes as good as it looks.  

My favorite way to serve radish salad is family-style with other cool flavors like Tuna Avocado Bruschetta, No-Mayo German Potato Salad, and Greek Pasta Salad!

Ingredients

  1. Radishes – radishes are a crispy and spicy base for this salad!
  2. Chives – chives add a mild oniony pop and bright green color.
  3. Italian parsley – Italian parsley (AKA flat leaf parsley) adds a lemony brightness.
  4. Lemon juice – lemon juice adds acid and freshness.
  5. White wine vinegar – white wine vinegar adds delicate acid.
  6. Extra virgin olive oil – olive oil binds everything together.
  7. Black sesame seeds (optional) – black sesame seeds add a cool earthy, nutty touch.

Ingredient Substitutions

  1. Chives – substitute scallions (green onion) for chives.
  2. Parsley – substitute cilantro for parsley.
  3. Lemon – substitute lime for lemon juice.
  4. White wine vinegar – substitute white balsamic vinegar for white wine vinegar.
  5. Black sesame seeds – eliminate sesame seeds altogether, or use regular sesame seeds.

How to Store Radishes

Store radishes right in grocery store plastic bag if you are using them within 3 days. If you need to store them for longer, wrap the radishes in damp paper towels and seal in a plastic bag, storing in your refrigerator crisper for up to a week.

How to Cut Radishes

Simply cut all green leaves and stems off your radishes. Rest the radishes on their sides and slice them into thin slices with a knife. A mandolin is an even better option for slicing radishes extra thin!

After slicing, stack a few radish slices on top of each other and cut the slices into thin matchsticks (julienne).
