Hot radish salad

Do you want a side salad with some heat but avoiding chilli and spices? Then radish is your choice. Here I have used three coloured radish but this works just as well with the basic red variety that is common in most supermarkets. This is a salad to accompany other dishes, it is not a good source of carbohydrate or protein so cannot form the only part of a balanced meal. I have also added some nasturtium petals – these can be omitted if you are strictly following the low fodmap diet, they can also add to the heat of the dish.

Ingredients

1 bag of radish

A bag of green salad leaves (I used mixed chard and red lettuce.)

One or two edible washed nasturtium flowers

Method

Wash then prepare the radishes three ways. – thinly slice, slice in two and prepare radish flowers.

Radish flowers are made by cutting a zigzag pattern with a knife half way along the radish then separating it in half – makes two flowers, then slice the base to provide a flat surface for it to sit on.

Add the washed salad leaves and radish to the dish with some nasturtium petals and chopped chard  stems for colour.

Serve as a side salad, you could add some dressing – but do check for those fodmaps!

Pecan and radish salad with strawberry ketchup – low fodmap

I had to use the rest of the radish I bought and thought I would make a bright salad for this very sunny day. Balsamic vinegar enhances the flavour of strawberry and when combined with radish shoots and sliced radish the strawberry reduces the heat of the salad nicely. The dressing tastes a little of ketchup – but more decadent than the standard tomato variety! I hope you enjoy it! If you have problems with resistant starches you may want to use the rice whilst it is still warm.

Ingredients

A large handful of pecan nuts

8 radishes sliced thinly

A large handful of radish sprouts

A handful of green leaves (rocket, kale, lettuce or chard – it really doesn’t matter)

3 strawberries sliced thinly

100g of cooked wholegrain rice

Dressing

1 tablespoon of hazelnut oil

2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar

3 strawberries (mashed)

seasoning

Method

Combine all the salad ingredients together

Mix the dressing ingredients and drizzle the dressing over the salad

Season then serve

enjoy!
