Print Recipe

A quick, light, and refreshing summer salad combining crisp radishes, creamy feta, and crunchy toasted almonds with a bright lemon dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12–15 small to medium fresh radishes, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces (115g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup (40g) toasted almonds, sliced or slivered
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse radishes under cold water and pat dry. Slice very thinly (about 1/8 inch or 3mm thickness) using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  2. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add sliced almonds and stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine sliced radishes, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley. Pour dressing over and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top and toss gently once more or leave almonds on top for texture contrast.
  6. Serve immediately for best crispness. If prepping ahead, toss radishes with dressing but add almonds just before serving.

Notes

Soak radish slices in cold water for 10 minutes if too sharp or bitter, then drain well. Toast almonds carefully over medium heat to avoid burning. Add almonds just before serving to maintain crunch. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Can substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans. For vegan version, omit feta or use plant-based cheese.
