Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh dill fronds
- 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Vinaigrette
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Herbs and Radishes: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced radishes, fresh parsley, mint, and dill. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly without bruising delicate herbs.
- Add Walnuts and Feta: Incorporate the toasted and chopped walnuts along with the crumbled feta cheese into the salad, distributing them evenly for balanced texture and flavor.
- Prepare Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined to create a bright and lightly sweetened dressing.
- Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly without damaging the herbs and radishes.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately, optionally garnishing with extra walnuts or fresh herbs for added visual appeal and flavor.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit walnuts or substitute with toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs will not provide the same vibrancy.
- This salad is best served fresh as radishes lose their crunch over time.
