Let’s Make It!

Before you begin prepping your ingredients set your oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then prep this recipe is 3 simple steps, just prep, roast and dress this tasty salad!

How Long Will It Last?

Just like a potato salad, radish salad will last about a week if it stays covered in the refrigerator. To refresh it, simply give it a stir and add a little salt and pepper to bring back the zing!

Can You Freeze Radishes?

Radishes can be frozen, but due to their high-water content, once they are thawed they won’t be as crunchy. But they are perfect to keep on hand to add to soups in the cool winter months, like this tasty Beef Soup with Radishes.

The best way to freeze radishes is to:

  • keep the skin on the radishes intact and cut them in half.
  • blanch the halves in boiling water about 2 or 3 minutes and then submerge them into ice water.
  • dry and place them in a freezer bag labelled with the date and then put them in the freezer!

Freezing radishes is super easy, so go ahead and stock up on summer’s bounty!

    Oh my goodness! This is absolutely delicious! I did change a two things, I used half mayo and half Greek yogurt, and left out the bacon. I loved it even warm so I with it cold the next day, excited to find out. This will be my new Potato salad (mock) with do guilt.
    Thank you for sharing!

  2. Do you have to roast the radishes? I love raw radishes but don’t care for them roasted. I am just thinking, other than being crunchier raw, what purpose roasting them has in the recipe?
