Grilled Bread with Roasted Tomatoes & Radish Greens

Tomato and Radish Greens Bread

With a ton of radishes coming to fruition in the veggie garden (so exciting!), this means that there are also a lot of radish greens to be had.  Typically not thought of as the part of the radish plant you eat, I was excited to try these lovely greens in a quick saute for a unique appetizer idea.  With a nice peppery flavor very similar to the radishes themselves, I sauteed the greens with a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and tossed them together with some roasted cherry tomatoes and sliced, pickled garlic.  All of this loveliness was then a colorful topping for thick slices of country bread.
