Roasted Radish Salad Recipe

This roasted radish salad with a yogurt dressing is a wonderful springtime recipe with exciting flavors!

I know you might be skeptical of roasted radishes, but I think you’ll love them. Radishes roast quickly (in just 10 minutes), become very juicy, and are much mellower than in their crunchy form and their natural sweetness shines!

Another unexpected treat is that roasted radishes develop a beautiful, deep pink color, making this side salad a stunner.

• Roasted Radish Salad

Radishes are one of the best spring vegetables - they're a small root vegetable that starts popping up in early spring (usually April), although they are easy to find year round.

My favorite way to enjoy them is roasting them (try our roasted radishes side dish as well!)

This easy recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes and makes for an exciting side dish or light lunch.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make this salad with roasted radishes recipe.

• Fresh Radishes
• Baby Lettuce or Spring Greens
• Pine Nuts
• Plain Yogurt
• Fresh Dill
• Fresh Mint Leaves
• Red Wine Vinegar
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Sea Salt
• Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 degrees F (230 C).

Toss the raw radishes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

Place in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes.

Toast the pine nuts in a small frying pan for a few minutes over medium heat until they are golden brown.

Remove the radishes from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Make the dressing by combining the yogurt, mint, dill, vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk till fully combined.

Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin the dressing to your desired consistency.

Place the greens in a large bowl and toss with half the dressing and half the radishes. 

Arrange the greens on a large serving plate or low salad bowl, top with the remaining radishes and pine nuts. Drizzling the remaining dressing across the top.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Storage Tips: I recommend serving this salad as soon as the radishes are done roasting, as they will become pale the longer they sit. However, it can be saved for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Make Ahead Tips: I do not recommend roasting the radishes a day or two before serving. I tested this, and they did not taste nearly as good, and the color wilted. The salad dressing can be made ahead though and will save for up to 4 days in the refrigerator!

Optional Toppings: If you'd like to add some cheese to this salad, I recommend either crumbly blue cheese or feta cheese. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or some sesame seeds.
