Bavarian Radish Salad

Written By Iris Koser

A Quick and Simple Bavarian Side Dish

Prep-Time: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS (4 Portions)

  • 1–2 bunches of radishes (Radieschen)

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • Optional: A splash of heavy whipping cream

UTENSILS

  • Cutting board

  • Sharp knife

  • Small bowl 

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the most satisfying. This quick and easy radish salad comes together with just three ingredients, making it a versatile addition to any meal. Serve it as a refreshing side dish, alongside a Bavarian Brotzeit (a traditional charcuterie board), or on top of a buttered slice of bread (Butterbrot).

01
Wash the radishes thoroughly and trim the ends.

02 
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the radishes into thin, even rounds.

03 
Place the radish slices in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the salt to draw out some moisture and enhance the flavor.

04 
Season with freshly ground pepper to taste.

05 (optional)
If desired, add a splash of heavy whipping cream for a creamy twist. Mix gently to combine.
