I just think radishes are freaking adorable! Their fresh crisp flavor pairs so well with the many other offerings of spring!

It’s easy to think salads right off the bat because thankfully radishes make their first appearance among the sea of spring greens! I’ve included a number of CSA friendly radish salads in the recipe box below.

You can also think of radishes as snacks. One of the purest ways to enjoy a crisp radish is simply raw with a little salt and pepper. You can also take it one step further and do as the French and dip them in butter. Radishes can be a vehicle for many homemade dips that you might whip up from your CSA box. Think nettle pesto or later in the season eggplant baba ghanoush! Radishes make great hors d’oeuvres on a cracker with some fetta and mint! Then of course there’s lots of open face sandwich mash-ups staring radishes that could help you up your avocado toast game!

Radishes add a lot of flavor to pickles, slaws and salsas! Thankfully mint and cilantro make their appearances as early and as often in CSA boxes as radishes and are a key pairing to many of the recipes in this category that I’ve listed below! Tacos, nachos, fajitas, burritos and quesadillas are all the natural home of the radish!

Last but not least, honestly one of our favorite type of radish, roasting radishes are often overlooked but make a great side dish to any spring or summer soup or roast you might enjoy!
