How to Cut Radish Rosettes
As warmer weather approaches, we begin to crave lighter, healthier meals. salads become a go-to option for lunch or dinner. But let’s be honest, salads can be boring. Plain lettuce, boring dressing, and some uninspired toppings do not make for an exciting meal. But there is one way to elevate your salad game: by arranging your ingredients in a creative way! Enter: the radish rosette.
You can actually carve radish into all kind of shapes and we already covered that here in this article. But If you’re looking for a simple and elegant way to jazz up your salads this summer, look no further than the radish rosette. Here’s how you can make your own radish rosettes at home.
What You’ll Need
• 1 bunch of radishes (about 12-15), washed and dried;
• 1 tbsp. white vinegar;
• 1 tsp. sugar;
• 1/2 tsp. salt;
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional);
Step One
Thinly slice the radishes using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. If you’re using a knife, cut the radishes into thin rounds first, and then slice those rounds into thin strips. The thinner the better!
Step Two
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Step Three
Place the sliced radishes in a large bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over top. Allow the radishes to sit in the mixture for at least 20 minutes so they can absorb all of that delicious flavor.
Step Four
To assemble the rosettes, start by placing one strip of radish in the center of your plate or bowl. Then, begin arranging the other strips around it in a circular pattern until you have reached your desired size/look. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired and enjoy immediately!
It depends on the size of your radishes and the size of your rosettes, but you could probably make between 4 and 8 rosettes out of a single bunch of radishes.
Radishes are not only a delicious and healthy addition to any meal, but their attractive appearance can also help to make a dish more visually appealing. One way to show off the natural beauty of radishes is to create elegant rosettes out of them. To do this, simply slice the radishes thinly and then arrange the slices in a circular pattern on the plate. The result is a colorful and eye-catching decoration that will add both flavor and visual interest to any dish.
