Citrus Free Radishes with Butter and Sea Salt

There is something quietly luxurious about a dish this simple done exactly right. Crisp, peppery radishes paired with cold, salted butter is a classic French bistro move that never gets old — the cool creaminess of the butter softens the bite of the radish in the best possible way. Every ingredient here is naturally free of citrus, so there is no swapping, substituting, or label-reading required. A scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley adds a little color and a grassy note, though the dish is just as beautiful without it. This works beautifully as a starter, a snack, or a side that disappears faster than anything else on the table. Keep the butter cold right up until serving so it holds its shape against the radishes — that contrast in temperature is part of what makes each bite so satisfying. Flaky sea salt on the table lets everyone season to their own taste, which is a small touch that makes the whole thing feel a little more special.
