Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- Fresh firm radishes, thinly sliced, about 200g
- Smoked turkey bacon, 4 slices
- Fresh parsley, chopped, 2 tablespoons
- Shallots, thinly sliced, 1 small
Dressing
- Apple cider vinegar (natural), 2 tablespoons
- Extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons
- Salt, a pinch
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Radishes: Wash and trim the radishes, then slice them thinly using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to highlight their crisp texture and peppery flavor.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp and golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well emulsified. Stir in the thinly sliced shallots to infuse gentle onion notes.
- Combine and Toss: In a large bowl, combine the sliced radishes, crispy turkey bacon, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve Fresh: Serve the salad immediately or within an hour of tossing for best flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Choose the freshest radishes for optimal crunch and bright flavor.
- Cook bacon until crisp but not burned for the perfect smoky texture.
- Slice radishes uniformly using a mandoline or sharp knife for consistent texture.
- Allow the dressing to rest a few minutes to meld flavors before tossing.
- Serve immediately to preserve crunch and vibrant colors.
