Gordon Ramsay’s radish salad is a light and zesty preparation made with thinly sliced radishes, tossed with lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, and sometimes shaved fennel or cucumber. It’s typically served as a starter or side dish and is designed to be sharp, crunchy, and palate-cleansing.
200g fresh radishes, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, halved and thinly sliced (optional)
½ small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)
Zest of ½ lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill
Shaved Parmesan or crumbled feta, for garnish (optional)
Prep the vegetables: Wash radishes and slice them very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Repeat with cucumber and fennel if using.
Mix the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the salad: Place sliced radishes (and optional vegetables) in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
Add herbs and garnish: Stir in fresh herbs. Top with a few shavings of Parmesan or a crumble of feta if desired.
Serve immediately: Best enjoyed fresh and crisp as a starter or side.
