This extrapolation on the classic French hors d’oeuvre of radishes, butter, and salt gives the humble original a little more flair without losing the essence of its simplicity. Here an herbed butter spread on toasted bread serves as the vehicle for crisp spring radishes sprinkled with smoked sea salt.
