Ingredients

• 1 bunch (about 8-10) radishes
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic (grated or finely minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the radishes, removing the green tops and ends.

Step 2

Grate the radishes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated radishes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Add the grated radishes, chopped chives, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Stir everything together until the radish spread is evenly mixed and creamy.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the radish spread to a serving dish or an airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve chilled with crackers, baguette slices, fresh veggies, or use as a topping for sandwiches.
