Pick up some radish seed pods and red lettuce from Woodchuck Community Farm, give them a quick pickle and then enjoy them on this tangy and lightly dressed refreshing summer salad.
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
About 20 Radish Seed Pods
4 cups Red Lettuce
Vinegar Reduction
1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Sugar
Quick Pickling Liquid
1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp salt
Directions
Put apple cider vinegar and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the liquid halves in volume. Allow it to cool, then pour it into a jar and store in the fridge.
Cut stems off pods and slice in half (it’s piddly but worth it!) In a bowl, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar. Put the sliced radish pods in the vinegar mixture for 20 minutes, then drain.
Lightly dress the salad in the apple cider vinegar reduction, place a few seed pods on top and serve.
