Easy Decorative Rose Radishes

Spring is a wonderful time for fresh veggies at the market.  I found some beautiful organic radishes.  When I was young, my Mom use to make us Rose Radishes to munch on. They were crunchy and hot.  These are a great garnish - pops out with color next to greens in a salad. Food looks appetizing with eye appeal.

Scrub radishes, removing dirt.

Chop tops and bottom root off.

Slice first cut a little over 3/4 way down, but not all the way.

Rotate the radish and again slice 3/4 of the way to the bottom.

Rotate radish, slice 3/4 of the way down.

Rotate radish, slice 3/4 way down.

Rotate radish, slice 3/4 way down and you are done!

Soak rose radishes in cold water.  OPTIONAL: Add salt to taste. Let sit in refrig for 15 minutes.

Yum... crunchy, healthy, pretty snacks.   Also use to garnish your salads or veggie dishes.
