Radish Snack

Radishes are certainly a kid-pleasing vegetable to grow. Usually the first to germinate, first to ripen, and easy to pick. We've never done anything besides throw sliced radishes in with our typical salads at suppertime. But the other day I tried something a little bit different. Simply spread a bit of cream cheese on sliced radishes, then top with sliced olives. And there you have it: a fancy radish hors d'oeuvre!
I would describe my relationship with radishes as amicable, as opposed to, say, passionate. And now that I think of it, I feel the same way about olives. So I will admit that I didn't find these terribly exciting. 5-year-old Millie, however, found this new take on radishes to be far preferable to their presence in a salad, and Tom thought that the cream cheese nicely offset the bite of the radish. This left them both wishing for a few more radishes in the garden.
