Gordon Ramsay Radish Salad

Gordon Ramsay Radish Salad

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.

Ingredients

  • 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)

Instructions

  • 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.
