Well, at least a very ripe avocado was the first ingredient and then I scavenged about the kitchen. The end result was unruly and messy but quite tasty.

A few folks have asked so here it is: a view of the black radish next to the more commonly seen red radishes. I picked up my first one simply as something new to photograph. I had no idea how it would taste or how to prepare it. When I mentioned this to a friend of Russian ancestry, she shared some of her family’s recipes. Tastes a little bitter but the carrots and red onion add sweetness. Very high in Vitamin C and full of other good stuff. Just what’s needed as we await the next snowstorm. 😉

black radish salad
1 medium size black radish, peeled and grated
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1/4 cup or so of finely chopped red onion
a little chopped fresh parsley
Toss all ingredients in bowl with a little olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice, black pepper and pinch of salt. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinate for a bit. Serve alongside saucers of sliced toasted bread that have been lightly rubbed with garlic, sliced red tomatoes and homemade aioli dressing. Smoked salmon on the side wasn’t bad either. 😉

A colorful snack pulled together, well, for its color more so than potential taste. Luckily, with a drizzle of olive oil and basil-infused basalmic vinegar, the flavor measured up to the visuals. 😉
