Vegetable of the Month

  Cool as a Cucumber.....


Cucumbers are one of my favorite vegetables.  I like to wash them, slice them and devour them.  They are great plain, sometimes I'll dip them in ranch dressing and put them in a salad.  (They're also great for puffy eyes!  )

Watermelon Radishes


These radishes are so pretty!  When you cut into them they have pink and white swirls through them.  I like to add them to cold noodles because they aren't as bitter to me as regular radishes and they add a nice crunch.

I first ate them when I was at Sid Wainer & Sons in New Bedford.  Sid's has weekly tastings and gives out their recipes to take home.  I tried the Udon Noodle Salad with watermelon radish.  It was served cold and had sugar snap peas, cucumbers, scallions and soy sauce.  I LOVED IT!!  I liked it so much I asked my mother to buy the ingredients and we made it at home.  I took it to school for lunch and it was delish :)
