FAQs

Can I make this salad in advance?
It’s best to enjoy this salad immediately for optimal freshness, but you can prep the radishes and dressing separately and combine them just before serving.

What can I substitute for Parmesan cheese?
If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, try using nutritional yeast. For a different type of cheese, feta or goat cheese works well too.

How spicy are radishes?
Radishes have a mild heat that can vary. If you prefer a less spicy salad, choose milder varieties like French breakfast radishes.
