Serve fresh radishes with butter and coarse sea salt, a simple French appetizer that highlights crisp vegetables and rich butter. Learn how to trim, chill and present the radishes.
Ingredients for Fresh Radishes with Butter and Salt
Clean the radishes thoroughly using a veggie brush, scrubbing off any dirt.
Trim the ends: Slice off the white end of each radish to create a smooth round tip.
Leave some leaves: Trim the radish greens but leave some attached; they add flavor and serve as a handle for dipping.
Serve with butter and salt: Place a small dish of butter and coarse sea salt alongside the radishes for dipping.
