Radish Tzatziki Recipe
I tried this Radish Tzatziki recipe a while ago and I loved it! I really liked the texture and the little spiciness of the radishes that go perfectly with the fromage blanc.
This recipe can be enjoyed as a starter on toast or with breadsticks but also as a starter with a nice slice of country bread.
What’s really nice about this recipe is that it’s quick and easy to prepare. It’s a real discovery and I feel like it’s a dish that I’ll make again and again. And what’s more, I love it: this tazatiki is light and healthy! 😉
Originally, tzatziki is made with cucumber and Greek yogurt but I found that the pink radish brought a nice freshness and I also like the little spiciness that it can sometimes have. If you wish, you can also use other radishes depending on the season and your tastes. You’ll see I used fromage blanc for a lighter version, but if you’re more of a fan, feel free to use Greek yogurt.
A little tip: don’t hesitate to squeeze the radishes in a cloth once blended to remove excess water and prevent your mixture from becoming too runny.
