French Breakfast Radishes are a quick appetizer—unless, of course, you’re growing the radishes. If you plant only one vegetable in your garden, make it these. I plant a new crop every couple of weeks throughout the season. Of course, store-bought radishes work as a substitute.

French Breakfast Radishes

Serve 3 to 4 radishes per person

1. Clean the radishes, cutting off most of the leaves but leave a few as a handle to pick up with your fingers and for visual appeal.

2. Arrange on a serving dish with a pat of butter alongside a small mound of salt. I like to use nasturtium leaves as a holder for the butter and salt, and then decorate the tray with nasturtium flowers.
