Roasted Radish Salad
This roasted radish salad combines tender, slightly sweet radishes and pearl onions with the crunch of toasted pine nuts and the bright tang of Dijon vinaigrette. Roasting softens the radishes and onions, mellowing their natural bite, while the feta cheese adds a creamy, salty finish. It's a warm or room temperature salad that balances textures and flavors with fresh parsley and a hint of pepper.
