Radish Salsa
Whipping up a bowl of salsa is probably one of the easiest ways you can spice up any meal. Regular chips sound too boring? Add salsa. Want to give that chicken or steak meal a bit of a twist? Top it with salsa. Want some more magic for those tortillas or steaming hot rice? Mix them with salsa!
There are tons of ways you can make salsa and one of my favorites is Radish Salsa. This was a recipe shared by one of my cousins after she grew a valiant crop of radishes in her home garden. Since then, Radish Salsa has been something I enjoy making myself! You only need a handful of ingredients and about 15 minutes to prepare this spicy and fragrant recipe.
Preparing salsa is all about dicing, chopping, and slicing your garden goodies. The different layers of spiciness in Radish Salsa are what make this so good to eat. Radishes, jalapeño peppers, scallions, and garlic cloves all share a spicy, peppery goodness that comes in varying degrees. Mixed together, they’re absolutely flavorful and harmonious. You’ll get to enjoy hints of heat, earthiness, and even a little bit of sweetness. Pairing these up with cilantro and lime juice gives your bowl of Radish Salsa a nice citrusy flavor. The bright and zesty tang of lime juice coupled with cilantro helps balance out the spices, elevating the harmony among your ingredients even more.
After tossing them all together, let your Radish Salsa bowl rest in the fridge for about half an hour. This lets the flavors blend even more, and the quick chill enhances its freshness. Enjoy your Radish Salsa any time of the day for that quick fix!

Radishes are annual plants in the Brassicaceae mustard family. So, while they might look like a carrot or a turnip, radishes are actually more closely related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage.
