Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 small radishes, trimmed and quartered (6 ounces)
4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
2 teaspoons minced fresh chervil, plus sprigs for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large carrots (about 8 inches long), peeled

Steps:

  • Pulse radishes in a food processor until finely minced, and transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in goat cheese, chives, chervil, and 1 teaspoon salt. Season with pepper. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Using a vegetable peeler, shave carrots lengthwise into thin ribbons.

GREEK SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE



Greek Salad With Goat Cheese image

This recipe, brought to The Times in a 1991 article about the increasing popularity of goat cheese, is simple and full of bright flavors and satisfying textures. Feta, the cheese traditionally used in this classic salad, would be perfectly appropriate (and delicious), but we recommend giving goat cheese a try. The silken texture of the goat cheese contrasts beautifully with the lively crunch of the vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right radishes: Smaller radishes are generally sweeter and less spicy than larger ones. Look for radishes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Wash and trim the radishes: Before using, rinse the radishes thoroughly under cold water. Trim off the tops and root ends.
  • Slice the radishes thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them more tender.
  • Use a variety of goat cheese: There are many different types of goat cheese available, from soft and creamy to hard and crumbly. Choose a goat cheese that you enjoy the taste of and that will complement the other ingredients in the recipe.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this recipe can be made up to a day in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

This recipe for radishes with goat cheese is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this spring vegetable. The radishes are crisp and refreshing, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and the dressing is flavorful and herbaceous. This recipe is perfect for a light lunch or snack, or as a side dish to a main meal.
