Spring Radishes with Herby Meyer Lemon Butter – A Fresh and Zesty Spring Recipe


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale

1 bunch spring radishes, trimmed (leave a bit of the green tops for presentation)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives), finely chopped
Salt, to taste
Flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Radishes: Wash and trim the radishes, leaving a bit of the stem for aesthetic. Slice in half if large, or leave whole if small and tender.

  • Blanch or Serve Raw: For a softer bite, blanch radishes in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to an ice bath. Otherwise, serve raw for a crisp, peppery crunch.

  • Make the Herby Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with Meyer lemon zest, juice, and chopped herbs. Season with salt to taste.

  • Serve: Spread the herby lemon butter on a plate or small dish. Pile the radishes on top or serve alongside. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for extra texture if desired.

 

  • Enjoy: Serve as a light appetizer or side dish—perfect with crusty bread or as part of a springtime spread.
