A simply delicious spring salad, featuring the bright flavors of radish and mint, with hints of lemon and honey. I am convinced you will be craving it all season long!

You Will Need (11 things)

  • 6 Large Radishes , very thinly sliced
  • Half of an English Cucumber , thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 4 cup Baby romaine or Arugula (watercress could be great too!)
  • 4 tsp Small fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup Pine Nuts , toasted and coarsely crushed (using a mug)
  • 1 tbsp Honey , for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest and additional lemon juice for drizzling

Steps (4 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Combine sliced radishes and cucumber (if using) in a bow with the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad to soak up the juices.

  2. 2

    Combine the greens of your choice and mint in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss to incorporate. Taste, and season with more lemon juice, oil and salt as needed.

  3. 3

    Toast the pine nuts for about 5 minutes on low heat. Then crush finely – I find using the the bottom of a mug is a great way to do this – see below.

  4. 4

    Remove the radishes and cucumbers from the liquid and nestle them among the greens. Immediately before serving, sprinkle the pine nuts over the salad, drizzle with honey and top with additional lemon juice and lemon zest.
