Salad Ingredients
- 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh dill fronds
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the herb and radish base: In a large salad bowl, combine the thinly sliced radishes with the fresh parsley, dill, and mint leaves. This mixture forms the fresh and aromatic foundation of your salad.
- Add the feta and walnuts: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped toasted walnuts evenly over the radish and herb mixture, adding creaminess and crunch that complement the fresh vegetables.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined for a bright and balanced dressing.
- Toss and serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and fresh flavors at their best.
Notes
- This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
- For a milder radish flavor, soak the sliced radishes in cold water for 10 minutes before assembling the salad.
- Goat cheese can be used as a substitute for feta for a different tangy note.
- Toast the walnuts before chopping to enhance their flavor and crunch.
