Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Roasting pan or baking sheet
  • Small saucepan
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Radishes
  • 1 medium Cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 slices Bread
  • 1 ripe Avocado
  • 1 lime
  • ¼ cup Queso fresco
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • For Radish and Cucumber Salad with Fresh Dill:Slice the radishes and cucumber thinly. In a large bowl, combine the radishes, cucumber, and fresh dill. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over the radish-cucumber mixture, toss well, and serve chilled.
  • For Radish Toast with Herb Butter:Toast your slices of bread until golden and crispy. While the bread is toasting, mix softened butter with a little salt and chopped herbs (optional). Spread a generous amount of herb butter on the toasted bread. Slice the radishes thinly and place them on top of the buttered toast. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and serve immediately.
  • For Roasted Radishes with Garlic and Thyme:Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the radishes into quarters, drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh thyme. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.
  • For Radish and Avocado Tacos:Slice the radishes and avocado. Warm the tortillas, then layer with sliced avocado, radishes, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco and enjoy these fresh and tangy tacos!

Notes

  • Choose Fresh Radishes: Fresh, firm radishes are key to achieving the perfect crunch. If they’re soft or wrinkled, they may not provide the crispness needed for this dish.
  • Slice Evenly: When preparing salads or toast, ensure the radishes are sliced evenly to maintain a consistent texture. Thin slices work best for a light, refreshing bite.
  • Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Taste your dressing or seasoning and adjust the salt, pepper, and lemon juice to fit your personal preferences. Don’t be afraid to add a little extra tang or a pinch of sweetness.
  • Don’t Over-Roast: Roasting radishes brings out their natural sweetness, but keep an eye on them! Over-roasting can cause them to lose their vibrant color and become too soft.
  • Experiment with Herbs: Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme can be swapped out for one another, depending on the flavor profile you're aiming for. Don't hesitate to get creative!
