Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup walnuts
2 bunches small radishes, trimmed (about 15 radishes)
3 Persian cucumbers, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
3 ounces sheep's milk feta cheese, crumbled (preferably French feta)
1/2 cup chives cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 bunch)
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems (about 1 bunch)
1 cup loosely packed dill fronds, stems removed (about 1 large bunch)
1/2 cup loosely packed mint leaves (about 1 small bunch)
2 sprigs tarragon, leaves stripped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool, then chop roughly. Place in a sieve and shake away loose skin and crumbs. Set chopped nuts aside.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the radishes and cucumbers into thin coins roughly 1/8-inch thick. Place in a medium bowl. Add walnuts.
  • In a small glass or jar, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Just before serving, season radishes, cucumbers and walnuts with a pinch of salt and dress lightly with 3 to 4 tablespoons of vinaigrette. Toss well to combine. Add crumbled cheese and toss gently to combine without breaking the cheese down too much. Arrange in a loose mound in a shallow serving bowl (or on a platter).
  • Place herbs in the mixing bowl, season with a pinch of salt, and dress very lightly with about 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Toss to combine, then pile the herb salad atop the radishes and cucumbers. Serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I had a bunch of basil that was about to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of radishes, but I really enjoyed them in this salad. The vinaigrette dressing helped to balance out the peppery flavor.

This salad was a refreshing and flavorful side dish to our grilled salmon. The radishes added a nice peppery bite, and the feta and walnuts added a creamy richness and crunch.
