Salting the radishes keeps them crunchy, and keeps the yogurt dip from turning pink.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

8 medium radishes, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 1/4 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
Cucumber spears (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toss radishes in a small bowl with a couple pinches of salt. Let sit until salt begins to draw out water from radishes, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toast pine nuts in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

    Step 3

    Massage radishes to release liquid, gently at first, then more vigorously as they start to expel water. Squeeze out excess liquid, then finely chop radishes (you should have about 1 cup).

    Step 4

    Mix radishes, yogurt, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1/2 tsp. lemon zest in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 5

    Divide yogurt among bowls, top with pine nuts and more lemon zest and drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Serve with cucumber spears for dipping.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 6

    Yogurt can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Top with pine nuts and lemon zest just before serving.
