Three more gardens from the Friday tour - Marina Wynton and Mike Pajunas Erin & Brian Ray Elizabeth Miller Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
I grew a lot of radishes this spring. I use them in green salads all the time but there were so many this year that, short of opening my own food stand, I didn't know what to do with them. I found this recipe online and loved it. This is good as a side dish with fish or some other main course.
I cut this recipe in half which still makes 4 good servings.
2 cups thinly sliced radishes 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup sliced red onion (I used slightly less because I do not like a strong onion flavor) 1 cup seeded and sliced cucumber 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 TBS. white wine vinegar 1/2 tsp. sugar 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp. chopped dill
Toss the radishes with the salt and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Drain off any liquid and transfer to a bowl. Add the onion and the cucumber slices and gently toss.
Whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, sugar, garlic and dill in a small bowl or measuring cup and pour the mixture over the radish mixture. Toss to combine, cover and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
YUM! Sounds great! I have a radish and tuna salad recipe with lemon juice, salt, olive oil, parsley, celery & green onions. But I'm always up for another recipe, so thanks for sharing! Did you know radishes are natural antibiotics?
Looks and sounds great! Radish sandwiches are good too!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great-looking salad, Phillip.
ReplyDeleteWas the taste sharp/spicy with all those radishes? Or did the cucumber cool things off?

ReplyDeleteCarol, believe it or not, I've never had one!
ReplyDeleteAaron, yes a bit spicy but the cucumbers too cool it down.
Katherine, I love tuna salad and would like to find that recipe!
Thanks for the idea, because I do indeed have too many radishes!
ReplyDeleteMama used to say that Radishes had made more gardeners than anything else because they come up fast and produce in a short time, very encouraging.
ReplyDeleteI put radishes in cole slaw. They give a little bite and a little color.
