Radish Salsa

Root vegetables take the stage over the winter months…but this root vegetable waits for its main debt until spring time…Radish!

Radishes

Radishes are a good source of antioxidants like catechin, pyrogallol, vanillic acid, and other phenolic compounds. They also have a good amount of vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant to protect your cells from damage.

As a late bloomer to radishes myself, eating them as is may not be the most appetizing thought. 

Salsa

I use radishes frequently as salad toppings but then I got this idea to make a salsa, adding a bunch of other diced ingredients to add more color to a healthy snack.

This salsa specifically can be added as a topping or scooped with a chip of your choice (I used blue corn chips!).

It’s a winner, winner, winner. All you need is 6 ingredients and 15 minutes.
