Make   -   (40 min)
  1. Peel RADISHES and grate on the size grater holes that will give you the texture you want. Time depends on an electric grater.
  2. Crush GARLIC and chop very fine. Chop PARSLEY fine. Mix both with Radishes.
  3. Mix Sour Cream and Mayonnaise. Whip until it is smooth and creamy so it will incorporate more easily. Stir in Salt & Pepper.
  4. Cut Dressing into the Radish mix with a fork, breaking up any clumps until the dressing is evenly distributed.
  5. Serve cold. It can be kept in the fridge for a few days.
NOTES:

  1. Black Radish:

      This large black skinned Radish can be found in markets serving a Polish, Ukranian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, or Russian community. Be aware, Black Radishes are much stronger than Red Radishes. If you can't take the heat, use Daikon instead, but don't you dare call it "Ukranian". For details see our Cabbage Roots page.
