Radishes

Radishes get a bad reputation for being an unusable vegetable.  Many people don’t like the spice, but we dare you to try them some other way aside from raw in a salad (although we enjoy them like that as well!)  We throw radishes into lots of dishes from roasted vegetables to crock pot beef roast.  They have been fabulous in stir fry, pasta salad, and even soup.

Herbed Greek Salad
From From Asparagus to Zucchini

½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup sliced black Greek olives
1 cup sliced radishes
¼ cup chopped green onions
2 small cucumbers, thinly sliced
2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbs. chopped fresh oregano
1 tsp. chopped fresh basil
½ tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1-2 tsp. minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine cheese, olives, radishes, green onions, and cucumbers in a large bowl.  Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.  Toss with dressing with vegetable mixture.  Chill 1-2 hours.  Makes 6-8 servings.
