radish dip

what you need

1 pound radishes julienned or grated
1 1/4 cups sour cream
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, 

plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill 

or two table spoons dried dill

what to do

the original recipe calls for julienned radishes 

but I don't have a fancy tool to julienne for me 

and it's a pain doing it with a knife-

it's one of those things I won't waste 

my time doing so I grated mine.

I took the biggest grate on a cheese 

grater and they came out perfect.

tip: if you do grate- gently press grated radishes 

between paper towels or cloth

before putting into dip- the radishes are 

pretty watery so you want to get as much as the water 

out as possible so it doesn't separate in the dip.

 Combine all ingredients. 

Serve with toasts and whole radishes.

you can make this up to a day ahead of time

and eat it with friends and family

or by yourself slathered on a bagel!

it's kid tested and approved

enjoy!
