Prep Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2
Dietary Preference: Gluten-Free, Vegetarian

Ingredients

• 12 fresh radishes, halved - known for their peppery flavor and crisp texture

• 1 tablespoon full-fat Greek yogurt - adds a creamy consistency and tangy taste, while offering a boost of probiotics

• 5-6 sprigs of dill, stems trimmed and leaves finely chopped - provides a fresh, slightly anise-like flavor

• 1 tablespoon olive oil - lends a smooth texture and is heart-healthy

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preparation

Start by preparing your ingredients. Wash the radishes under cold water, pat them dry, and halve them. For the dill, trim off the stems and finely chop the leaves to release their fragrant oils.

2. Combining ingredients

In a medium-sized serving bowl, place the halved radishes. Add the full-fat Greek yogurt and olive oil. Sprinkle the chopped dill over the top. Using a spoon or salad tongs, gently toss all the ingredients until the radishes are evenly coated with yogurt and the dill is well distributed.

3. Seasoning

Season the radish mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Mix again to ensure all the flavors meld together beautifully.

4. Serving

Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its freshness at its peak. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for about an hour before serving to allow the flavors to intensify and the radishes to chill.
