    This Roasted Radish Potato Salad recipe, aka mock potato salad or faux potato salad, isn't like the other potato salad recipes—it has roasted radishes in place of the potatoes! 

    I love love love what roasting does to radishes. The texture is soft and tender, like a cooked potato, and the flavor is mild and slightly sweet—not spicy or peppery like a raw radish.

    Roasted radishes are super delicious tossed into this radish salad recipe with hard-boiled eggs, fresh herbs, and honey mustard dressing. Be sure to try this Dill Roasted Radishes recipe, too! 

    You're Going to Love This

    • Roasted radishes are mild flavored and fork-tender with the texture of perfectly cooked new potatoes
    • Fast and easy side dish that's delicious served warm or cold
    • Creamy dressing with honey and mustard is a sweet and tangy twist on traditional potato salad dressing

    Ingredients

    See recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full list of ingredients and exact amounts. 

    radish potato salad ingredients.

    Fresh radishes. I use regular red radishes that are available in the grocery store year-round. 

    Hard boiled eggs. I prefer slightly soft boiled eggs -- the soft egg yolks add even more creamy texture to the salad. 

    Fresh dill. If you don't have fresh dill, use 1 teaspoon of dried dill instead. or use your favorite fresh herbs like basil or fresh parsley. 

    Mayonnaise. You can substitute with sour cream or go 50/50 mayo and sour cream. 

    Dijon mustard. You can also use yellow mustard, whole grain or grainy mustard, or spicy brown mustard.

    Green onions. Red onion would also be delicious -- or any of these green onion substitutes. 

    Variations

    Add the things you love in regular potato salad like crunchy celery, capers, chopped dill or sweet pickles, diced English cucumber, chives, or bacon. 

    How to Make Potato Salad with Radishes

    roasted radishes on a baking sheet.

    Step 1:  Arrange radishes cut-side down in a single layer on a large baking sheet coated cooking spray or olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast radishes at 450 for 20 minutes, until golden brown and fork tender.

    Step 2: While the radishes are roasting, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard in a large bowl.

    Step 4: Transfer mixture to a large serving bowl. Serve warm or cold.

    Expert Tips

    • For the best browning, roast the radishes cut side down on the baking sheet. 
    • Did you know you can eat radish greens? If you buy radishes with tops, reserve greens for sauteeing or pesto. 
    • Customize your radish potato salad recipe with your favorite add-ins like chopped celery, pickle relish, or bacon. 

    FAQs

    How long does radish potato salad last in the refrigerator?

    Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. 

    What do roasted radishes taste like? 

    The flavor and texture of a roasted radish is nothing like a raw radish. While raw radishes are hard, crunchy, spicy, and peppery, roasted radishes are soft and tender with a texture similar to a roasted potato and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. 

    Do you need to peel radishes?

    No. Radish skin is completely edible and there is no need to peel it off. To prep radishes, wash them and cut off the top and root ends. Then slice, chop, or dice as needed.
