A small drizzle of toasted sesame oil stirred into yogurt infuses it with a smoky earthiness that contrasts wonderfully with crisp, juicy radishes. Toasting your own sesame seeds brings out all of their glorious campfire aromas; toss them constantly in a dry skillet until deep golden brown like a chocolate chip cookie.
