With a refreshing crunch and loaded with zest and a touch of spice, these quick pickled radishes are easy to make and throw on burgers, tacos, salads, and more.
Quick, Spicy Pickled Radishes were a surprise to me until my husband started serving them with tacos and salads and burgers. I couldn’t believe how easy they are to make, and how much zesty flavor and crunch they can add to your meal.
The thin radish slices turn pink as they begin to cool so not only are they delicious, but they’re pretty too. The color of the jalapeños doesn’t fare as well, but their job is to provide a little spicy kick. The thing to remember is that they don’t last long (as in, sitting around in the refrigerator). They really should be eaten immediately, but they should keep in the fridge for no longer than a day.
I hope you try these Quick, Spicy Pickled Radishes soon for your next Taco Tuesday meal, or when you’ve got the grill going for burgers. They add a crunchy, zesty touch to any dinner.
