Radish Dip

This is a recipe adapted from the newsletter from my CSA, Spiral Path.


Greek yogurt
Sour cream
Parsley (dried or fresh)
Onion - diced
Radishes - diced


If I had to put proportions to this ... 2/3 cup yogurt, 1/3 cup sour cream, 2-3 t parsley, 1/2 cup minced onion, 1 cup minced radishes, and salt & pepper to taste.


The original recipe calls for 8 oz cream cheese instead of the yogurt and sour cream. I didn't have cream cheese. I'll try it with that next time.

BBQ and Crazy No Cabbage Slaw-like Thing

I picked up some pre-cooked carnitas from Trader Joe's and needed to do something with it. I decided to make a BBQ sandwich by dressing the pork with a friend's special, award winning sauce (Russ & Frank's Sassy BBQ Sauce http://www.russandfranks.com/).

I wanted a cool slaw to go with it but didn't have any cabbage. Having spent over an hour commuting home from work, I didn't want to go out again so I concocted a mock-slaw from the following:

Grated carrots, radishes, and granny smith apples, thinly sliced red onion and green pepper -- and a dressing made of mayo, mustard, rice vinegar, agave (to sweeten), salt & pepper, and a dash of Pete's Hot Sauce. I served it over a bed of fresh greens and topped with a few mini heirloom tomatoes. Whole wheat rolls because my doc says so. It was yummy but in my heart, slaw needs cole (cabbage) and I'll include that next time.
