Springtime Calls for Roasted Radish Salad

If you ever want to feel French and chic, I suggest putting on a Breton shirt, grabbing a French baguette, some breakfast radishes and eating them with a pat of butter and some flaky sea salt. This type of snack is at the top of my favorite to-snack-on list. I'm not sure there's anything more delightful and simple. It's the type of snack you imagine you'd eat if you lived in a French New Wave film.

Roasting radishes hadn't even crossed my mind until my boyfriend one day stuck them in the oven and out came these magical, spicy vegetables that were perfect and tasty. Radishes are glorious in their raw state but even more magical when roasted at a high temperature.

They're the perfect addition to an otherwise super simple salad. This is a spring salad! There's lemon dressing, a few boiled eggs and some peppery arugula. I added a bit of small-diced avocado for a creamy factor. It's a salad that works best as a side salad, perhaps served with a lemon roast chicken.
