Radish and Zucchini Salad with Mint and Nigella Seeds
Three-time James Beard Award–winning chef, restaurateur and best-selling cookbook author Michael Solomonov shares this recipe for an easy, refreshing salad that takes only a few minutes to prepare. “A spread of salads is a no-brainer for entertaining,” says Solomonov. “The simple act of passing little dishes back and forth across the table is guaranteed to turn strangers into friends.” Serve this refreshing salad as part of a mezze platter, or alongside a brisket as part of a Passover feast, as we do here. Look for nigella seeds, which have a mild, nutty onion flavor, at well-stocked spice shops, or order them online.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
- Handful of fresh mint leaves
- 1 Tbs. nigella seeds
- Kosher salt
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Olive oil for drizzling
Directions:
In a bowl, toss together the radishes, zucchini, mint and nigella seeds; toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and lemon juice. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil and serve immediately. Serves 4.
