In spring, when radishes are nice and crunchy and not too spicy yet, this spread hits the spot. It’s the kind of everyday recipe you prepare in ten minutes for a simple aperitif, a quick lunch, or a plate of crudités that needs a real burst of freshness.
Ingredients :
- Radishes — They provide the freshness, color, and slight spiciness of the spread. Choose a firm bunch with bright, crunchy radishes; if they are soft or hollow, the texture will be less pleasant.
- Fromage blanc — It serves as a creamy base and softens the radish’s character. Use a thick one to avoid a runny spread; alternatively, plain Greek yogurt works very well.
- Chives — They bring a green, fresh, slightly garlicky note without dominating. Cut them at the last moment with scissors or a sharp knife to keep their clean flavor.
- Fresh parsley — It reinforces the herbal side and gives a more vegetal feel in the mouth. Prefer flat-leaf parsley if you have it, more aromatic; otherwise, replace with a bit of dill for a livelier version.
