Vietnamese Root Vegetable Slaw
4 1/2 cups grated mixed root vegetables of choice (such as black spanish radish, carrots, beets, turnips, etc.)
1/2 cup red onions, diced
1 small hot or sweet pepper, seeded & minced
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
4 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. sugar
salt & black pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne (optional)
Place grated vegetables, onions, peppers, & cilantro in a serving bowl. Whisk together remaining ingredients & pour over the vegetable. Toss thoroughly & add more salt/ pepper/vinegar to taste. Serve immediately.

Storage Root CruditÈ
3 medium carrots
1 beauty heart radish
1/2 black spanish radish
1 small gold turnip (or half a larger one)
1 medium red beet
So this is your basic veggie & dip platter, only with local seasonal veggies in December! You’ll be surprised at the sweetness and beauty of these veggies on a platter. Some tips: If the skins are getting brown or tough, peel them. If not, no need, just scrub them well. Get a big, super sharp chef knife & take the time to cut everything properly - uniform thickness & shapes for each vegetable. Arrange them neatly & prettily on a large platter, alternating colors. Stick a bowl of your favorite dip in the middle & snack away! Serves 6-8.

Black Spanish
Beauty Heart
Good Stuff to Know:
The Black Spanish and Beauty Heart radishes are both very beautiful winter-type radishes (growing over a long season & harvested in the Fall, potentially for storage into the winter versus the quick growing “spring” bunching radishes we’re more used to) that can be quite bity.

Storage Tips
I would suggest putting it plastic & stashing it in the back of your fridge, to be unearthed with pleasant surprise sometime in December or later, as it’s spicy radish flavor mellows with age.

Eating Tips
Cooking mellows the flavor and 'bite' of these radishes - try them in stir fries or miso soup.
