Don’t throw away your radish greens—you can use them to make a delicious soup!
Rinse the radishes and scrub them with a vegetable brush if necessary. Slice a dozen radishes into thin strips.
Cut the smoked herring fillets into small pieces. Set aside.
Slice the beets into slices a few millimeters thick and set aside.
Cooking Asparagus
Fill a shallow pan with water, to a depth of about 2 cm. Add salt, and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, gently rinse the asparagus and peel the lower two-thirds using a vegetable peeler. Place the asparagus in the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes.
Final assembly
Arrange the plates. Place the beet slices on each plate, then top each with the thinly sliced herring, capers, and a few radish slices.
Prepare the dressing: in a bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, and taste to make sure it’s to your liking.
Once the asparagus is cooked, place 3 spears on each plate and drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve immediately, before the asparagus gets cold!
