Spinach and Radish Sprout Salad with Strawberries and Feta Cheese in a Mint Vinaigrette

salad1

I’ve harvested my first vegetables of the season.

Radish Sprouts.

The thinning of seedlings is one of the most difficult things to do in gardening as many tend to believe they’ll be losing a good proportion of their harvest.  However, this is something that needs to be done in order to have a harvest at all.

What is sure to lift ones spirits is knowing that the pulled radish sprouts do not need to be tossed in the compost unused. Instead they make a great peppery addition to any Spring salad.

Once rinsed and cleaned, they are even scrumptious as a snack.  My boys loved them.

This is one of my favorite things about Spring.  The fresh greens and small root vegetables coming from gardens and farmers markets.

With my freshly harvested radish sprouts, I decided to make a salad using the best of what’s in season.  Spinach, organic strawberries, feta cheese and mint.

Fresh and Bright. Sweet and Peppery. The flavors enhance one another.

Spring, I’m so glad you’re here.

    Beautiful! We get radish (and other) sprouts from our CSA farm and I love the radish sprouts’ zesty kick.

    I will confess that I’m a terrible thinner. It always makes me nervous!

    Love the idea of a mint vinaigrette on this! I just planted a few pots of herbs today, but it will be a while before I can harvest anything. I’m dying to try radish sprouts.

    Oo, should read this earlier. Hubby just compost the radish sprouts in the garden.

    Do you think Bok Choy sprouts edible?

    You’ve obviously got the magic touch both in the garden and the kitchen. Thanks for inspiring me to plant one more crop of radishes. I was looking for a reason to push the envelope on that one. This time I won’t feed all the tops to my rabbits!
