Last evening, I brought home a bag of salad greens, a red onion and a bunch of radishes.  I planned on making a big salad for dinner complete with shaved cabbage, nuts, dried cranberries and saute’d chicken.  As I was shaving the cabbage, my 15 year old son ate the entire bunch of radishes! He would tell you that eating radishes raw, strait off the bunch is the best recipe.  Here are a few more for you to consider.

Spicy Quick Pickled Radishes:  Easy and tasty, this recipe enhances your radishes and preserves them too.

Honey Roasted Radishes: If you are not a fan of the spicy radish flavor, this is the recipe for you.  I love how it incorporates the tops of the radish.  This is my go-to radish recipe (when my kid doesn’t eat the whole bunch).

Saute’d Radishes:  If you don’t want to heat up the oven and roast your radishes, consider saute’d radishes.  With these simple ingredients, what is not to love?

Juice Boxes:
  
Kale, Chard, Beets, California tangerines, mint and carrots.

Green Orange Juice

I am trying to figure out a name for my new favorite juice.  I started calling it “green orange juice”, but that felt like an oxymoron. Hit reply if you have a suggested name for orange juice with kale blended in. I drink it over ice with a straw.  Many fruit juices can be enhanced nutritionally by simply blending in a few leaves of kale.  I like mine sweet, so I usually add a few pitted dates along with 4 leaves of kale to a 8 ounces of orange juice over ice.  The same can be enjoyed with lemon juice!
