Quick and Easy: Radishes

Marquita Farms in California also runs a CSA and their site is packed with veggie recipes. Here are a couple of their simple ideas that take radishes beyond a supporting role in a lettuce salad.

CHIMOLA

Salvadoran salsa recipe from Ercilia
2 radishes, preferably icicles

3 tomatoes

1 small onion

1 bunch cilantro

salt to taste

juice of 1 lemon

Chop fine and mix.
Chimol is a traditional topping for carne asada (or grilled steaks) but is also great on grilled fish or chicken, or as a topping for scrambled eggs, a chip dipper, or a taco topper.

RADISH SALAD , CHINESE STYLE
1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced

2 Tablespoons soy sauce

4 green onions, chopped fine

2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Mix ingredients and eat.

Can be made ahead.
