Radish salad with chicken - fresh and nutritious. Usually radish and raw onions are not the vegetables, snacks from which are included in the day menu. Agree that the characteristic sharp smell is somewhat inappropriate if you need to communicate with people. However, there are several tricks and varieties of radish that will avoid this. They are not so odorous, for example, green, or, as in this recipe, red-green. Despite some, I would say minor “flaws”, the radish is so tasty and useful that not including it in the menu is just a crime!
If you pre-process the vegetable, the pungent smell and taste are significantly softened. To partly get rid of the smell, you must first soak the chopped radish in cold water, then drain the water, sprinkle with fine salt and let stand in an open container so that the smell will disappear a little.
Radish is not only a storehouse of vitamins, it is also a powerful antioxidant, and although there is a saying “worse than bitter radish”, the useful qualities of this vegetable will outweigh all the negative reviews.
As for onions, for this salad you should simply fry the onion in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil.
