Description

A refreshing and crunchy Carrot Radish Salad featuring fresh radishes and diced carrots tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt, and topped with crumbled parmesan cheese. This simple, no-cook salad offers a delightful balance of peppery radishes, sweet carrots, and savory parmesan, perfect as a light appetizer or side dish.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 20 radishes, quartered
  • 4 medium carrots, diced

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • 4 ounces parmesan, crumbled


Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables: In a large bowl, add the quartered radishes and diced carrots. These fresh vegetables form the crisp base of the salad.
  2. Add Olive Oil and Toss: Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly, which enhances the flavor and texture.
  3. Season with Salt: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the salad and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the mixture.
  4. Add Parmesan and Serve: Top the salad with 4 ounces of crumbled parmesan cheese. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors, or let the salad sit on the counter for a few hours or refrigerate for up to a day to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Adjust salt to taste if preferred less salty.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
  • The parmesan can be substituted with a vegan cheese alternative to make it vegan-friendly.
