Servings: 

4-6

Tender radishes and crispy bacon are slow-roasted with garlic and fresh sage for a simple and spectacular salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (about 3 cups) radishes
  • 4 slices uncooked bacon
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  • Pinch each of salt and black pepper
  • 4 cups of mixed salad greens

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Oil a rimmed sheet pan.
  2. Cut the radishes in half after removing leaves and dice the bacon. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and lay out on the sheet pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is well-cooked and the radishes are tender. Drain off some of the bacon grease before serving warm on a bed of fresh greens.

Serving Suggestion

This earthy dish works best alongside simple roasted or grilled meats and poultry. Omit the bacon and add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a perky, vegetarian option that pairs well with mac and cheese.
