What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food Plating: Neufchâtel Radish Sandwiches! How do you make a simple sandwich look appealing? Think, open-faced. Use colorful ingredients. Add texture, like the seeded bread. Fresh garnishes should be light, airy, and fragrant. And above all, be generous in presentation. Instead of a smear of whipped cheese, use a spoon to add a dollop swirled across the top. It doesn’t need to be spread all the way to the edges. By overlapping ingredients, it creates symmetry as it builds volume. All these things bring harmony to a simple sandwich with irresistible results.
NEUFCHÂTEL RADISH SANDWICHES
Ingredients:
8-ounces Neufchâtel cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
8 slices avocado seed & grain bread
1 bunch radishes, washed and cut into thin slices
Cracked black pepper, if desired
Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions:
Using a hand mixer, cream the Neufchâtel cheese until light and smooth. Fold in chopped dill, chopped chives, and sea salt. Cut the avocado seed & grain bread slices in half. Spread a layer of the herbed Neufchâtel cheese over each piece of bread. Arrange sliced radishes on top. Garnish with fresh dill. Sprinkle each open face sandwich with cracked black pepper. Serve slightly chilled.
Thank you, Gail, for the wonderful sandwich with all the ingredients perfect for me!

Since I really like Mexican food, I was thrilled when I saw large bags of radishes that they use in serving their dishes. Yum. 🍃🌮🫔
