Gordon Ramsay Radish Salad Recipe

4.5 from 80 reviews

Gordon Ramsay’s Radish Salad is a quick, fresh, and vibrant dish combining thinly sliced radishes with a zesty lemon dressing, savory Parmesan, and aromatic dill. Perfect as a light appetizer or side, this salad showcases the peppery crunch of radishes balanced by tangy citrus and creamy cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 1 bunch radishes, sliced 1/8″ thick
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, torn
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Dressing

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Slice Radishes: Thinly and evenly slice the radishes into 1/8 inch pieces and place them into a mixing bowl for even flavor absorption.
  2. Massage with Lemon and Salt: Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the sliced radishes. Add a generous pinch of salt, then massage the radishes gently for 1 to 2 minutes to help soften their texture and infuse the citrus flavor.
  3. Add Olive Oil, Parmesan, and Dill: Drizzle olive oil over the radishes, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and torn fresh dill. Toss everything gently to combine evenly without bruising the radishes.
  4. Plate and Garnish: Arrange the radish salad on a serving plate. Top with lemon zest, a little extra Parmesan, more fresh dill, and freshly ground black pepper to enhance each bite.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the salad fresh for optimal crispness and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm radishes for the best crunch and flavor.
  • The lemon juice softens the radishes slightly but keeps their fresh bite.
  • Parmesan adds a rich umami layer that balances the pepperiness of the radishes.
  • This salad is best served immediately to maintain texture.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes when tossing.
