What to do with radish tops?
Radishes are everywhere at the Farmer's Market right now. Last week I picked up a bunch for $1. I've always felt sad composting the beautiful greens-- and last Sat. decided to give Clotilde's recipe for Radish Leaf Pesto a go. It had (obviously) quite a different taste than regular basil pesto-- but we totally enjoyed it. It made a huge serving and with the help of a few guests ate it all up with chips. Definitely making it again-- yummy and incredibly economical.

thanks cheryl! this is good to know. i always wondered too -- there are more tops than bottoms to radishes and it seems such a waste to throw the greens away.
i bought a couple bunches of radishes at the farmers market last month and asked the lady if the greens were edible. she looked at me like i was crazy!
