I was a little leery about this recipe when I first saw it in Simply in Season. In fact, I had lots of radishes last spring but didn’t do this recipe because I just wasn’t sure about it. However, once I decided to try to cook all the recipes in this cookbook I knew I’d have to try it.
Ingredients
- 8 large bunches radishes (sliced)
- 8 green onions (chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 dash pepper
- 6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Combine radishes, onions, and dill.
- Stir together everything else except the cheese and pour over radish mixture, toss lightly, cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Stir.
- Sprinkle cheese on top just before serving. (I forgot this part, and it was just fine).
Servings: 8
The Verdict: When I added the radishes, green onions, and dill, I started to figure out where this was going. After it had marinated, it seemed to blend well. The radishes weren’t too strong (which might be because it’s still early in the spring). It was a very refreshing side dish and while it’s not one of those that will make you want to keep eating it and eating it, it’s a nice filler.

i’ll have to try this. i know we’ve got a bunch of radishes in the garden ready for eating.
i found another recipe for roasted radish chips, which might be another good bet:)
I will admit that I generally do not cook with radishes. They’ve been looking gorgeous at the farmers’ market, but I’ve never been a fan and just cannot bring myself to buy them.
What an interesting dish! I usually avoid a lot of radishes because they’re too hot for me, but perhaps the vinegar would balance them out? It looks very fresh and delicious. 🙂
Just stopping in. Had to check out your site after I noticed your comment on my blog. I often add radishes to green salads, but never considered them as a main ingredient. This looks wonderful! I can’t wait to try it.
I have some great CSA radishes, and dill growing in the back garden, so I’m getting ready to try it — but I don’t see a quantity for dill in the ingredient list; it’s just mentioned in the instructions. I’m sure I can eyeball the quantity, but just wanted to let you know it was missing. Thanks for a great looking salad.
Sorry about that! It’s 1/4 C fresh dill or 1 T dill seed.
