Looking for something to add to your salads, try radish leaves.  Radishes supply a nice little spice to any salad.  I felt bad about all the radish leaves going back into the compost.  Well did you know you can eat the radish leaves?

Eating RAdish Leaves? Just Do It!

Give it a try.  I recommend only eating the smaller younger leaves as radish leaves have spikes.

Preparation:

  • Trim the center veins from the leaf
  • Wash and dry just like regular lettuce.

Something different and neat for your salad.  Just mix it like those spring lettuce packages we all see in the stores.  It is fun.
