RADical RADishes -- Marinated Radish Salad

Sometimes, we're surprised by what actually grows well in the garden in a particular year. But, radishes never surprise. They almost always seem to grow like gang-busters in the spring, and this year they're particularly abundant, large and mild.

When we're trying to dream up things to do with radishes besides slicing into salad, or eating raw with a little salt, this recipe adds a little variety:

Marinated Radish Salad (from Simply in Season)

8 large bunches radishes
8 green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, or 1 Tbsp dill seed

Combine.

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste

Stir together, pour over radish mixture, and toss lightly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 4. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Stir.

6 ounces Swiss cheese (shredded)
Sprinkle on top and serve.

Let us know if you need more radishes for this or other recipes. And please do share any favorite other recipes for radishes!
