Salad Ingredients- 100g young radish leaves
- 4 Tbsp strawberry preserve (or your preferred fruit preserve)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the strawberry preserve that will add sweetness and flavor. It has a strong sweet taste and a beautiful red color that enhances the salad’s appeal. (You can substitute with other types of fruit preserves.)
Step 2
Wash the young radish thoroughly and drain it well. Then, chop it into bite-sized pieces. Using a mix of tender leaves and a bit of the stalk will add to the texture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, place the prepared young radish. Add all the dressing ingredients: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and 4 Tbsp of the prepared strawberry preserve. The salt enhances the radish’s natural sweetness, and the lemon juice adds a tangy counterpoint, balancing the flavors.
Step 4
Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine and complete the salad. The refreshing lemon scent, the sweetness of the strawberries, and the crisp texture of the young radish create a delightful burst of flavor. If desired, add a drizzle of truffle oil for an extra touch of gourmet flavor. Enjoy your delicious Young Radish and Strawberry Preserve Salad!
