  • Tip

    Leaf it out
    radish leaves have a peppery flavour and are packed with flavour. You can add them to this salad (this will affect the nutritional information) or turn them into pesto by blitzing them with pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and Parmesan (or breadcrumbs for a vegetarian pesto).
