Cooking Tips

• Make sure to trim the tops and tails off the radishes before roasting.
• You can use any variety of radishes for this salad, such as red radishes or watermelon radishes.
• Feel free to add other vegetables or ingredients to the salad, such as cherry tomatoes or sliced cucumbers.
• For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds, on top of the salad.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can soak the sliced radishes in cold water for 10-15 minutes before roasting to reduce their spiciness.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after preparing to maintain its freshness and crunchiness.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Before serving leftover salad, give it a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and freshen up the flavors.
