The carrots are shocked in ice water after shaving to give them a wavy shape and slightly soften their crunch.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup walnut halves
1 tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole or 2% Greek yogurt

6 medium radishes, cut into thin wedges
2 scallions, thinly sliced on a sharp diagonal
