tasty morsels |  Radishes with Dill Cream Cheese

Flavored cream cheeses are the easiest spreads you can make. To turn them into dips, you can simply add more milk to achieve a softer consistency. You could make this appetizer with pretty much any combination of flavored cream cheese and raw veggie that suits your fancy (carrots, cucumbers, celery and peppers would all make fine substitutes).


ingredients

4-5 sprigs dill
4 oz. cream cheese, at room temp.
1 tsp. milk
salt to taste
6 radishes

yield makes 24, serves 6

How filling is it? insubstantial, but tasty -- to make a more filling appetizer, halve the radishes latitudinally 
time
 
20 min


1. Trim off the ends of the radishes. Slice the radishes into disks, approximately ¼" thick. Use the sharpest knife you have.
2. In a small bowl, add the milk to the cream cheese. Using a pair of scissors, snip the dill into the bowl. Stir the mixture until well-combined. If the mixture appears very thick, add a drop or two more of milk. Sprinkle salt to taste.
3. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a pastry bag. Using the cake decorating tip of your choice (I chose the large star tip), carefully squeeze the mixture out in a neat s-shape on top of each radish disk.
4. Arrange the radishes neatly on a platter, and garnish with a sprig or two of dill, if desired.
