Radish Salad (5-Ingredient)

This Parsley and Radish Salad recipe is quick, fresh and wonderfully crunchy, the kind of simple side dish that works with just about anything. I love radishes for their mild peppery bite and subtle sweetness, especially when they’re crisp and freshly picked. I usually pick mine up at the farmers’ market, but if you’re lucky enough to grow them yourself, even better.

Ingredients for this Radish Salad Recipe

This easy radish salad is all about letting a handful of fresh, good-quality ingredients shine. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Radishes: I used French breakfast-style radishes, which have an elongated shape, red tops and white tips. They tend to be a little milder than classic round red radishes and have a fantastic crunch.
• Parsley: Fresh flat-leaf parsley is my favourite here. It adds a clean, herbaceous flavour that pairs perfectly with the peppery radishes.
• Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed is definitely the way to go. Its bright acidity brings the whole salad together.
• Olive oil: Choose a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil—the flavour really matters in a salad this simple.
• Salt and pepper: Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper are all you need to finish it off.

The Best Radishes for Radish Salad

Radishes come in all sorts of shapes, colours and flavours. The most familiar are probably Cherry Belle radishes, those small, round, bright-red radishes you’ll find just about everywhere.

For this Radish Salad, I used French Breakfast radishes. These pretty, elongated radishes have vibrant red tops that fade into white at the tips. They’re slightly sweet, pleasantly mild and wonderfully crisp, making them especially good for fresh salads like this one.

Choose Fresh Radishes for the Best Radish Salad

Since radishes are the star of this simple salad, freshness really matters. Look for firm, crisp radishes with smooth, unblemished skin. If the leafy tops are still attached, they should look vibrant and green rather than wilted or yellow.

If you’re using classic round red radishes, you can also keep them crisp by soaking them in cold water and storing them in the fridge overnight. The result? Extra-crunchy radishes that are perfect for tossing into this fresh, lemony salad.
