(2023) Napa and Radish Salad

Published at In Category Napa cabbage, Radishes, Recipes

I love the Napa and radish salad recipe from Beautiful Briny Sea that’s appended below. Absolutely perfect for the contents of this box AND what a nice change of pace from the way many of us have been preparing all the Napa cabbage we’ve been receiving recently.

This is adapted from one created by Grant Park-based Beautiful Briny Sea, maker of the Campfire Sea Salt used in the recipe. If you don’t happen to have Campfire Sea Salt in your pantry, it’s a mix of smoked sea salt, cumin and ancho chili. You could substitute a bit of smoked paprika, salt and cumin, and ground ancho chili if you have it, and make a fine substitute.

(2023) 5-Ingredient Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Published at In Category Cucumbers, peppers, Radishes, Recipes, Tomatoes

And for the cucumbers and sweet peppers and tomatoes and radishes, I’m going to make them into a big salad and dress them with this Apple Cider Vinaigrette recipe from Emily Nunn and the Department of Salad. I’ll make a bigger batch and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator to anoint salads for the next week or two. AND I’m going to slice an apple or two into the salad. Love adding fruit to salads. That little bit of sweet crunch is always a welcome surprise.

(2022) Radish Top Soup

Published at In Category Radishes, Recipes

I think we’ve received radishes every week (at least most every week) and I just found this recipe that riffs on the plates of radishes, walnuts, feta and herbs that come when you eat in Persian restaurants. Tuck this into pita for a great salad sandwich. And there’s also a recipe for radish top soup.

(2021) Chicken Thighs with Crunchy Summer Veg

Published at In Category Daikon Radishes, Radishes, Recipes Tags: ,

I have this chicken thigh recipe that I’ve been wanting to try. It was in Bon Appetit. So most of my daikon this week will go into this recipe. The original called for cucumbers, too, but I’m just going with daikon. And one of those friends at dinner gifted me with a bunch of radishes (none this week in our box!) so that’s going in as well. It’s really just another version of pickled daikon!

(2021) Radish Baguette with Chive Butter and Salt

Published at In Category Radishes, Recipes Tags: ,

I started thinking about the little bunches of radishes we’ve been getting every week. Not everyone is a fan of slicing them into salads … but what about cooking with them? Or serving them on a baguette? Probably we’ve all heard about enjoying crunchy radishes spread with a little butter and dipped into coarse salt. America’s Test Kitchen put out this recipe for a radish baguette. I snagged the photo because I loved the watermelon radish version … but think of this when the daikons start arriving in our boxes.
