Pickled Radishes

We had a lot of radishes in our garden, so I decided to try Pickled Radishes.  We added them to our BBQ Pork Sandwiches.  They were just okay--not sure if I would try again.

Pickled Radishes

Ingredients:

1 bunch radishes, cut into thin slices (~1/2 lb)

1/2 cup white or apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup water

1 bay leaf

Place radishes in a hot, sterilized 1-pint mason jar.   In an enameled saucepan, bring everything else to a boil.  Pour or ladel hot contents of saucepan over the radishes in the jar.  Center lid on jar.  Apply band and close tight.  Let cool on wire rack for an hour, then in fridge for at least 6 hours before serving.  Store in fridge for up to 4 months.

Blackened Cod with Avocado-Cucumber-Tomato Salad

Really good.  I made up my own little recipe, throwing spices together to make a rub and tossing some veggies together for the salad.  The fish was perfectly flaky and flavorful and the salad was a nice cooling bite.

Grilled Chicken with Avocado-Cucumber Salsa

 

I found this photo on my camera and realized I forgot to post the recipe which I no longer remember.  Looks good though.   

If I remember correctly, for the salsa, I used cucumber, avocado, tomato, radish, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro (and maybe fresh dill?), and I tossed that mixture with olive oil and lime juice.
