Tips & Variations

- Substitute dill with fresh parsley or chives if preferred.
- For a creamier version, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche before serving.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The radishes will soften and lose their crispness over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If needed, let the salad come to room temperature before serving again.

FAQs
Can I prepare this salad in advance?
It’s best to prepare and serve this salad fresh, as the radishes will become soggy and lose their crunch if left too long. If you must prep ahead, keep ingredients separate and combine just before serving.
Can I use other types of radishes?
Yes, you can use any radish variety such as watermelon radish or French breakfast radishes. Each will add a slightly different flavor and color, but the salad will still be delicious.
