I don’t know how black beans are so magical but they are. They are the base of my favorite veggie burger and I just saw a recipe on Pinterest today for black bean brownies. No joke. (I’m not sure how I feel about that but I guess I can’t knock it til I try it.) And can we get a round of applause for these radishes? Talk about getting a bad rap. Have you ever heard anyone say their favorite vegetable is a nice juicy radish? Poor little guys. (Then again have you ever heard anyone name their favorite vegetable?…Mine’s corn. The only one that can be turned into straight up sugar.) The first time I ever voluntarily ate a radish was embarrassingly recently. I was at a friend’s house for lunch a few years ago and she was eating them raw, dipped in ranch, like carrots. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. And now that I know about this radish-cilantro-lime secret, I don’t think my life will ever be the same. We made these twice in the last few weeks. It’s hard to beat: super delicious, super cheap and done in 45 minutes or less. You can thank me later for saving your poor innocent plates from getting chomped on.
