These quick pickled radishes are full of peppery flavor and make a colorful salad topper or healthy snack that's easy to prepare.
Radishes are in season during late spring and early summer, so if you frequent farmers markets or subscribe to a CSA, there's a good chance you have more radishes than you know what to do with! Radishes are nice and crunchy and make a great addition to salads, tacos (especially Korean BBQ!), and bowls, but like many veggies, they're good in small doses.
Making pickled radishes is a great way to mix things up, make your radishes last longer, and infuse your veggies with extra flavor. Radishes have a sharp, peppery flavor on their own, and they get nice and spicy with the addition of peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red chili flakes.
