We're getting some in our produce box this week. No clue what to do with them... Any ideas? (other than in a salad, raw). TIA!

     We have radishes in our garden & MIL gave me some. I'm not really a radish fan, but I REALLY like this salad.

     Radish Cucumber Salad - Serves 4

     

    2 English cucumbers                                                                                                                                         4 to 6 radishes (to equal 1 cup)                                                                                                                            3 tablespoons cider vinegar                                                                                            

    2 teaspoons olive oil                                                                                              

    1 teaspoon sugar                                                                                                        

    1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning                                                    

    Ground pepper                                                                                                         

    2 tablespoons minced red onion

     

    Peel cucumbers. Halve lengthwise; scrape out any seeds witha teaspoon. Slice cucumbers very thinly on the diagonal.

    Thinly slice radishes. In a large colander, toss vegetableswith coarse salt. Top mixture with a plate that fits inside colander; weightwith a heavy object. Drain in sink 20 minutes; squeeze vegetables in papertowels to dry.

    Transfer to a bowl; toss with minced red onion, cidervinegar, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar; season with salt and ground pepper.Serve immediately.

     sorry for the formatting!

    Well, this is basically raw, but we used them in coleslaw. Very yummy.

    Oh, and DH and I had forgotten how bitter they can be by themselves. Definitely eat them with something else!

    Good! I was hoping it would! That and the kale--I've never eaten it before!

    Oh Hughes, I got you covered on the Kale.  This is one of my favorite recipes and it uses a bunch of kale.  It is so super yummy and I highly recommend topping it with EVOO and some diced raw onion- so good!
