Radish and Pea Salad
Radishes, like those little pots of cress, are one of the overlooked pleasures of the British vegetable repertoire. Come the summer, there is hardly a fridge that doesn’t have a cucumber rolling around in the bottom drawer, but radishes? The pretty crimson marbles, which the ancient Greeks valued so highly that they offered golden ones up to Apollo, have fallen out of favour
