RADISH AND FENNEL SALAD
Steps:
- The quantities of this salad are really up to you, but I look for roughly 2 parts fennel to 1 part radish. When buying radishes look for those that are really firm. The longer, oval-shaped ones are really nice. Wash them and slice thinly. Fennel comes in two types: the thinner Fennel and a rounder, fatter variety. It is the rounder, fatter fennel buds that you want -- these are normally much more well packed, less stringy and generally have a lot more of the green tops, which you need.
- Cut the tops and the excess stalk off the top of the fennel and set aside. Trim the bottom of the bulb in half and slice as thinly as possible from the root to the top. Put the radishes and the fennel into a bowl and cover with cold water, adding some ice. Leave for at least 15 minutes to get the radishes and fennel really, really crispy. Drain, spin them or pat them dry, put into a bowl and dress them with olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Chop the fennel tops and sprinkle them on top. This is great with grilled fish.
Tips:
- Choose the right radishes: Select firm, crisp radishes with a vibrant red color. Avoid radishes that are wilted or have blemishes.
- Wash and trim the radishes: Rinse the radishes thoroughly under cold water. Trim off the root end and any greens.
- Slice the radishes thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the radishes as thinly as possible. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is key to a great radish salad. Use a combination of vinegar, oil, herbs, and spices to create a dressing that complements the radishes.
- Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your radish salad, such as cucumbers, carrots, or celery. This will add extra flavor and crunch.
- Serve immediately: Radish salad is best served immediately after it is made. The radishes will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Radish salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad, give this radish salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
