Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 200g radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 100g smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
Dressing
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (natural)
- 1 tsp honey (natural)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Radishes and Herbs: Wash the radishes thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Finely chop the parsley, chives, and dill, then combine all in a large mixing bowl to create the fresh base of the salad.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon strips until crispy. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard (natural), honey (natural), sea salt, and cracked black pepper until the dressing is fully emulsified and flavorful.
- Combine All Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the radishes and herbs, tossing gently to coat evenly. Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon last to preserve its crispiness and toss lightly once more. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
- Choose fresh, firm radishes with no blemishes for the best texture.
- Slice radishes thinly so the dressing can penetrate and the salad is easier to eat.
- Start with less dressing and add more if needed to avoid overpowering the salad.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the salad’s flavor.
- Toss the salad just before serving to maintain crispy bacon and crunchy radishes.
