Spruce up your boring salad with a few radish mushrooms! These cute additions add vibrant color and taste to the salad and will quickly garner attention to an otherwise ignored side dish on the dinner table . . .
You’ll Need:
a Bunch of Fresh Radishes
a Knife
a vegetable peeler
Wash the radishes and remove them from the stems. Score each radish in a tic-tac-toe pattern on the stem side cutting to the center of the radish with each cut, but no further like this:
Then carefully cut around the center of the radish cutting the outside sections off, leaving the middle section as a stem for the “mushroom”
Use the tip of the vegetable peeler to carefully peel away tiny circles over the “cap” of each mushroom.
