Whip up this Roasted Broccoli Radish Salad with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette for a quick and easy side dish for your next barbecue or any weeknight meal.

I have a really quick and easy side dish for you today. I don’t quite remember what led to me making this roasted broccoli radish salad recipe, but broccoli salads seem to be popular lately – at least I’ve seen a lot of them on Instagram and Pinterest. Many use raw broccoli, which isn’t really my thing. If anything I would need to at least blanch the broccoli to make it a little more visually palatable with the vibrant green color and to add some crunch to the florets.

My favorite way to make broccoli is roasted, so for this recipe I decided to lightly roast the broccoli and some radishes. Tossed with red onion, golden raisins, and a light dressing with a bit of zing from mint and lemon juice, this is a perfect side dish for your next summer barbecue or any weeknight meal. I paired it with a fillet of fish, but could easily see it next to eggs, chicken, or some grilled steak.

Oh, and since it’s National Eat Your Vegetables Day, today is the day to try this recipe or another veggie-full dish. Hope you enjoy it!

  1. I love love love broccoli. Which makes everyone around me laugh because of adored it since I was a kid and somehow I’ve created a child who loves it as much as I do. We need to make this. I’m getting gutsy. I’m leaving in the onion!!

    1. That makes me so happy to hear! One of my girls loves roasted broccoli and gobbled this up earlier this week. Hope you and your daughter enjoy it – onion included 😉

  2. Love how quick and easy this roasted broccoli radish salad comes together! And that lemon mint vinaigrette sounds wonderful! What a perfect side dish for spring and summer gatherings!

  3. I would happily sit down with a bowl of this roasted broccoli radish salad and be totally satisfied! Love all the delicious flavors going on from the roasted veggies to the golden raisins!

  4. I need this salad in my life! I love that you’re teaching me how to use radishes 🙂 And that dressing!!

    1. Oh you do, Kerri, you do! I’m so glad I can inspire you to eat something new. And yes, that dressing is yummy 😉

  5. This looks amazing. I’m already imagining all the delicious ways to incorporate this into everything.

  6. I’ve still never had roasted radishes! Clearly I need to get on that! This looks amazing!

  7. […] strawberries are finally flavorful, the asparagus are crisp and bright green as they should be, radishes can be found in bunches with their greens attached, and fresh rhubarb is […]

    1. Hi Jake. Sure, you can make it in advance- it’s delicious served room temperature as well as hot from the oven, just depends how you like your broccoli. If you make it in advance, especially if you put the dressing on in advance, the broccoli won’t have the same crunch it does when it’s straight from the oven. But if you like broccoli that’s absorbed sauce then making it in advance works perfectly fine.

  8. 5 stars
    Absolutely sinful! I added some sautéed red onions, absolutely to die for. Already sharing the recipe with all my friends and family!

  9. I had to make substitutions from the items we had on hand (no raisins, no mint, no red onion). I substituted an orange bell pepper and white onion, and made the dressing without mint—and it was still delicious! Thank. You for the excellent recipe!
