Lunch Box: Hakurei Turnips and Homemade Hummus


Today I lunched on a salad of the raw radishes, turnips, and lettuces and some homemade hummus. I have to admit, I was pretty nervous about the raw root veggies, as I'm not a huge fan of the bitter sweet-heat of radishes, and I had no idea what turnips tasted like. The black Nero Tondo radishes were a little strong for my taste, and the dry, thick, black skin is just intimidating. I think I'm going to try to make pesto out of them. The pink radishes are a lot more aproachable. My favorites were definitely the turnips. Sliced, they made a great sweet, crunchy vehicle for the hummus.
