When I plant a garden I always plant radishes. I'm looking for instant gratification and radishes are just that, ready to eat in three weeks.
Instead of the round, crimson globes, I plant the French breakfast variety. High in vitamin C and various minerals, these little cuties are also antioxidant and anti-inflammatory rich.
I like to eat them them in the French manner, with some unsalted butter and a dusting of sea salt.I tried this Martha Stewart recipe and was delighted. A lovely blend of peppery radish, sweet mango and mild cucumber dressed with a light citrus vinaigrette. Give it a try. It would be a great accompaniment to a grilled steak on Father's Day.
Mango and Radish Salad with Lime Dressing
