radish & herb butter salad

👨‍🍳 Chefy Tip: Butter should be soft enough to spread, not melted — that controls the coating. Toss gently or you bruise the radishes. If the garlic is sharp in the first bite, the butter needs another minute of mixing.

🧬 Food Science

Radishes are rich in vitamin C and natural antioxidants, helping to support immune function and digestion. Pairing them with herb-infused butter enhances their flavor while adding healthy fats for better nutrient absorption.

Pair It

🥂 A chilled rosé wine or sparkling water with lemon pairs beautifully with the delicate flavors.
🍽️ Serve alongside grilled fish or a simple green salad for a light spring spread.
