Radish Spread with Fresh Herbs
Author Notes: Here is my variation on the classic French theme of radish-sea salt-sweet butter-baguette. I have included a photo of my radishes and favorite flaked sea salt. Allow the cream cheese to warm up on your counter for a few hours before preparing this snack. - Lizthechef —Lizthechef
Food52 Review: We really loved this recipe -- it’s a great starter recipe for those of us who have only eaten radishes with salt or in salad. The creamy cheese and herb mix is a great foil to the spicy crunchy radishes, and that little bit a flaked salt on top just makes it that much better. We ate this up during the game Saturday night -- a perfect snack! - aargersi —The Editors

Great spread! I made it for a potluck party, and people were surprised they liked something with radishes in it. I think it would be good for a brunch buffet with bagels.
Agree that it's a good match with bagels, maybe thinly cut and toasted?
So good...wish I had some with a glass of white wine/champagne!
Sounds good and I wish that I had some right now.
It is such an easy spread to put together - thanks!
I love all these great radish recipes, including this one! Thanks Liz - I can't wait to try this. It looks soooo good!
Thanks, Suzanne - my husband is wolfing down a second batch...
OK, how do I get the other photo to pop up here? Will I ever get it... Oh, but thanks!

Thanks - I was inspired by your radish butter, deserving of the blue ribbon, in my book...
