Recipe: Radish Slaw

Many recipes use the root of the radish plant, but a quick online search will show you that there are lots of recipes for the greens, too!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb. radishes, trimmed and grated coarse (about 2 cups)
  • 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup coarsely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro, mint, or parsley leaves

Directions:

In a bowl toss together the radishes, the cabbage, the carrots, the onion, the lemon juice, the sugar, the oil, the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.

This could also be good without the cabbage.
