It may sound odd to work a thin sliver into a wedge cut out of a radish and dip the whole thing in salt, but it's a favorite spring treat in France. Give it a try and see why – the creaminess of good butter and the watery crunch of a fresh radish are a remarkable combination. A bit of fine sea salt is a must - if you have any fleur de sel sitting around, this is a good place to use it.
