Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch (about 8-10) radishes
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (grated or finely minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Wash and trim the radishes, removing the green tops and ends.
Grate the radishes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated radishes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and well-combined.
Add the grated radishes, chopped chives, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
Stir everything together until the radish spread is evenly mixed and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the radish spread to a serving dish or an airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers, baguette slices, fresh veggies, or use as a topping for sandwiches.
