Whip up this Roasted Broccoli Radish Salad with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette for a quick and easy side dish for your next barbecue or any weeknight meal.

I have a really quick and easy side dish for you today. I don’t quite remember what led to me making this roasted broccoli radish salad recipe, but broccoli salads seem to be popular lately – at least I’ve seen a lot of them on Instagram and Pinterest. Many use raw broccoli, which isn’t really my thing. If anything I would need to at least blanch the broccoli to make it a little more visually palatable with the vibrant green color and to add some crunch to the florets.

My favorite way to make broccoli is roasted, so for this recipe I decided to lightly roast the broccoli and someradishes. Tossed with red onion, golden raisins, and a light dressing with a bit of zing from mint and lemon juice, this is a perfect side dish for your next summer barbecue or any weeknight meal. I paired it with a fillet of fish, but could easily see it next to eggs, chicken, or some grilled steak.

Oh, and since it’s National Eat Your Vegetables Day, today istheday to try this recipe or another veggie-full dish. Hope you enjoy it!

For the Salad:

3 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups radishes cut into 1/8ths

Jessica, can this salad be made up ahead of time, maybe a few hours before serving?

1. Hi Jake. Sure, you can make it in advance- it’s delicious served room temperature as well as hot from the oven, just depends how you like your broccoli. If you make it in advance, especially if you put the dressing on in advance, the broccoli won’t have the same crunch it does when it’s straight from the oven. But if you like broccoli that’s absorbed sauce then making it in advance works perfectly fine.

Absolutely sinful! I added some sautéed red onions, absolutely to die for. Already sharing the recipe with all my friends and family!

1. Thanks so much for sharing your review Deirdre, and for sharing the recipe with your friends and family. Red onion is a great addition to this roasted broccoli radish salad!

I had to make substitutions from the items we had on hand (no raisins, no mint, no red onion). I substituted an orange bell pepper and white onion, and made the dressing without mint—and it was still delicious! Thank. You for the excellent recipe!

1. Love that you made subs based on what you had available and that you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for sharing with me!
