Radishes are part of the cabbage family, and are closely related to arugula. Look at the leaves, don’t they remind you of arugula greens? The best way to store a bunch of radishes is to cut off the leaves and store them separately. You can add the tops to spice up your salads, or my favorite, make a spicy pesto!

What you need:

• One bunch of radishes, tops only
• Oil – Olive or Sunflower
• 2 – 4 tbs creamy cheese like ricotta, chevre or cream cheese
• Herb seasoning, like Garden Citrus Blend
• Optional, diced garlic
• Salt & Pepper

In a food processor, combine all ingredients. Pulse until smooth. Add oil until you are satisfied with the consistency. Season to taste. Voila…instant pesto!

Store in an airtight container or add a couple of spoonfuls to this awesome Mashed Potatoes recipe and take it to a whole new level!
