Gluten Free Radishes with Butter and Sea Salt
Crisp, peppery radishes paired with cold butter and flaky sea salt is one of those effortlessly elegant combinations that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. This is classic French bistro snacking at its simplest — the kind of thing that disappears fast at a dinner party or makes a quietly satisfying afternoon bite. Each radish gets dipped into cool, creamy butter and finished with a pinch of salt, letting the natural sharpness of the radish shine against the richness of the fat. Because the entire dish is built from whole, unprocessed ingredients, there's nothing to decode on a label and no hidden grains to worry about — it's naturally free of gluten without any substitutions or workarounds required. A scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley adds a little color and a grassy note that rounds everything out beautifully. Keep extra flaky sea salt on the table so everyone can season to their own taste, because that finishing crunch really does make a difference.
