Simple but absolutely tasty, this salad is guaranteed to impress. This recipe is an extract from Gill Meller's new book, Gather, available nationally now.

12 radishes, green tops attached
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 mint sprig, leaves chopped, plus extra leaves to serve
1/2 bunch dill fronds, chopped, plus extra fronds to serve
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
100g fresh sheep’s or goat’s curd

Method

1.

Wash radishes and remove any tired leaves from the green tops. Slice half the radishes very thinly crossways, leaving the tops whole and setting aside.
2.

Place radish slices, spring onion, mint and dill in a bowl. Add 1 tbs oil, half the lemon juice and one-quarter zest and toss to coat. Cut the remaining radishes in half lengthways (try to keep the leaves attached to each half).
3.

To assemble, spoon curd onto serving plates. Arrange radish halves and reserved green tops on top, then scatter over the dressed salad. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice, lemon zest and 1 tbs oil. Scatter with extra dill and mint to serve.
