Isn't everything better with tortilla chips?

For some reason I don't really see tortilla chips as real chips. Like, they might even actually be good for you, which is totally not true.

Maybe It's just that tortilla chips are almost always the vehicle for other, healthier food for me. Like radish salsa!

I'm in love with just about all the salsas. Green, red, chipotle, black bean, you name it, and I want it on a chip.

Salsa tends to be packed full of flavor and low on calories, making it a great addition to quesadillas, tacos, and burritos.

I had no idea I loved radishes until just a couple years ago when I finally grew the heck up and tried them. Now I dream all year of radish season, just waiting to put them on my favorite sandwich and slice them thin over nachos.

How to make radish salsa

Trim the stems off radishes and add to a food processor along with garlic, jalapeno, lemon juice, and cilantro. Let the food processor do the chopping, then stir in salt and pepper to taste. It's so easy!

Top tips

Rinse your radishes

Radishes are a root vegetable, meaning they grow right in the dirt. Stores clean most of this off, but its still a good idea to give them a rinse before cooking and eating.

Be careful with jalapeños

Jalapeños contain capsaicin, which is what gives them their spicy flavor. This substance will also cause a burning sensation if you get it in your eyes or nose, so you may want to wear gloves when you handle them or wash your hands well after wards.

Tips for customizing radish salsa

Leave in some of the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño for extra heat
Add ½ cup diced cucumber for extra freshness
If you don't have a food processor simply chop everything by hand
