Radish Salad with Radish Top Pesto

If you like radishes, you'll LOVE this radish salad recipe! It uses them two ways - roasted and raw - and has a bright radish green pesto on top. Because there aren't any tender greens here, this salad is perfect for making ahead. Just save the mint to add at the last minute!
