Radish Salad is the perfect answer to a spring time salad when you're craving crunch and a little spice and a lovely tangy dressing. My garden is full of radishes of all colors and I cannot get enough of this super simple recipe. I serve it with anything, but can often be found eating it straight of the bowl in the fridge. It's that good.

This Radish Salad recipe checks all of the boxes for me. It has wonderful crunch, a hit of spice, the tang from the dressing, all of the colors, pairs well with anything. Not only all of this, but it so simple that it comes together in mere minutes. When the weather is pretty outside, no one wants to be stuck inside, this is the salad recipe I reach for.

I serve this wonderful salad with so many things. It's the perfect salad to bring to an backyard bbq. Need a little something to spoon over fish tacos? Try this radish salad. This recipe is also a perfect side dish to bring to your next church potluck.

Need a low-carb alternative to potato salad? You've got to try radish salad for sure! You'll never want an everyday, basic green salad again!

Whatever you do, try it out and you'll see how versatile it truly is!

how to make radish salad

To make the most amazing Radish Salad ever, simply:

Total Time: 20 minutes

Make the dressing.

Mix all of the Radish Salad dressing ingredients together and store in the fridge in an airtight container until you are ready to use it. The longer this dressing hangs out, the better it will taste.

Prep the veggies.

Thinly slice the radish and green onions, cut the cauliflower in to small, bite-sized pieces.

Toss.

Once you're to assemble the salad, toss the vegetables together with the dressing. Again, the longer you allow this salad to marinate, the better it will taste. I suggest making this a day before you plan to serve.

Garnish and serve.

Garnish with fresh chives and dill. Add a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper.

Enjoy!

Try not to eat it all in one sitting!

radish salad frequently asked questions

Can you make this Radish Salad ahead of time?

I suggest that you do! I recommend making this recipe at least a day before you're ready to serve is so that the flavors can meld.

How long does this salad stay good in the refridgerator?

This radish salad will stay good for 3-4 day in the fridge. However, this salad is so addicting and wonderfully crunchy, we don't have leftovers for long.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! There is no need to worry about that dietary concern.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Unfortunately, no. Freezing the vegetables would result in them becoming unpleasant in texture once thawed. The salad dressing will not freeze well either.

Can I use frozen cauliflower?

Again, I suggest using only fresh cauliflower and radishes here.

radish salad recipe substitutions

The base of this salad is truly amazing. However, this recipe is also highly customizable. Use any crunchy vegetable you like or have on hand. I love adding a cucumber to this, but my husband acts like I'm trying to poison him when I do. Sometimes I add some chopped crisp bacon if I have some I need to use up. And, if you like things a little spicier, feel free to toss in some fresh or pickled jalapeños for an added kick. The world is your oyster and so is this recipe!
