[1]Tired of limp celery and carrot sticks? Consider the radish, a perfect sideshow for cocktail hour. Alongside a teeming bowl of cashews, I throw whole radishes on a plate with a ramekin of sea salt. Barefoot Contessa has an even better idea [2]. Arrange them directly on a bed of salt, and serve with toasted baguette slices topped with herb butter. I’m ready for the weekend.
