pretty radishes

[cellio]

The watermelon radish is as advertised:

With shaved carrots and pickled daikon radish on a bed of lettuce, it makes a lovely combination of colors. (The photo was pre-dressing, which was vinaigrette.) Tasted good, too. :-)

Oh, I thought julienne was a different cut (that "ridges in slices" thing you sometimes see in carrots). Now I realize you mean thin slices; yeah, I know how to do that.

I wanted the watermelon radishes to resemble slices of their namesake. Quarters would more closely match how I eat the fruit (halves are too big and messy), but I stopped at halves.

Poor description on my part: julienne ends up with narrowish rectangularish prisms, more like a square baton or something. (Google image search is useful.)

I find radishes often overwhelming, so larger cuts are too much for me....
