This colorful recipe was inspired by the classic French appetizer of raw radishes dipped in butter and then coarse salt. The peppery bite of the raw radishes along with the creamy butter and coarse salt is truly a remarkable combination of tastes. I decided to use the same foundation of ingredients, but put a unique twist on the idea. Here, I have toasted whole wheat bread with a salted butter-garlic spread, then topped the toasts with roasted radish slices and peppery micro greens. A lovely first course or light lunch when paired with a bowl of warm soup.
