Spring is here and with that comes an array of amazing fruits and vegetables. Kicking off the season is the humble radish, one of my favorite veggies. It’s hard to beat the peppery crunch of a radish, a great addition to a variety of dishes. The typical radish is red on the outside with bright white flesh on the interior, but be sure to look for other varieties at your local grocer or farmer’s market. Other types include watermelon, black, pink, grey, green, white, and yellow! Go grab a bunch and check out my recipe for Radish and Snap Pea Salad with Herbed Yogurt below. This is a wonderful side dish or a light lunch!
