What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Fabulous Fixings: Radish Dinner Salad! Baby lettuces and greens not only add color to a dinner salad, they also add crunchiness, vitamins, and variety. That’s one of the reasons I like radishes, too. I bet you thought it was the spicy, peppery taste of this root vegetable, didn’t you? Well, you’re half right. I find radishes refreshing and I’m not going to stop eating them anytime soon. In fact, it’s not uncommon to find me standing barefoot in my kitchen nibbling on sliced radishes sprinkled with sea salt. I hear the French actually slather radishes with sea salt butter for a truly gourmet experience. Now that’s an idea worth exploring, especially since I buy my butter from France.
