Radish Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette (with Video!)

By Jen Dalton

I was inspired to make this recipe when I discovered some gorgeous radishes at my local farmers market. This simple salad is perfect for a quick summer lunch.

2 bunches of radishes (see note)
½ cup of sliced Spring onions
3-4 hard-boiled eggs
Lemon
Parsley
1 teaspoon of mustard
Salt and pepper
Olive Oil

Note: The proper storage of radishes can really make a difference. Radishes will keep for a while, but you need to wash them, trim off their tops, and then store them in water in the refrigerator.

1. Begin by prepping the dressing. Squeeze the lemon juice into a large measuring cup or bowl. Add the spring onions and mustard. Whisk in olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Slice the radishes into rounds (about 1½ cups of sliced radishes to serve 4)
3. Cut the hard boiled eggs into quarters
4. Place the parsley on a serving platter as the base of the salad. Compose the radishes and hard-boiled eggs on top of the parsley. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
5. Serve with some fresh butter and bread for a fabulous farm-style lunch.

The above link is for Maeve. It's an Imperial to Metric conversion table for cooking from a site called 'Botanical.com'. Hope it helps.

I could just kiss you. I have a bag of radishes in my fridge and just last night was wondering what to do with them. I think we will love this. Thanks.

Maeve Sweeney

Approx how much Olive oil do you use, and how much is one cup?
In the UK we don't measure in cups, so it is a bit of guess work.
