    Today’s post is dedicated to one of the more difficult ingredients to work with in the kitchen- black radishes. I picked up these pungent root veggies at the market over the weekend, with a bit too much optimism that I could easily come up with a tasty Veg World creation for them. But after much experimentation, I think I figured out how to maximize their flavor without sending your taste buds running for a glass of water. Marination is key, my friends! Paired with spinach, quinoa, and roasted beets, the radishes add the perfect unsual punch to this seasonal dish.

    Ingredients 

    • 2 cups fresh spinach - washed
    • 1 small beet - roasted and chopped into small pieces
    • ½ cup cooked quinoa
    • 3 small black radishes
    • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    • ¼ cup lemon juice
    • 1 clove garlic - pressed

    Instructions

    • Peel and slice radishes into matchstick pieces. Place pieces in a colander and toss in salt. 
    • While the radishes sit, whisk together the sesame oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic. Pour radishes and brine in a small jar, close, and shake until all radish pieces are coated. Let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. 
    • In the meantime, combine the spinach, beets, and quinoa in a serving bowl. Top with marinated radishes and a sprinkle of the brine, serve, and enjoy!

    Notes

    Sodium is not accurate in nutrition facts, since you will not be using all the radishes and their brine for the salad.
