We were giving away all of the radishes we grew last year until we found this recipe. We make the whole thing in the food processor and leave out the cayenne. We have also found that the butter can be reduced in a pinch without harming the flavor. We're making it this year with White Icicle Radishes which we think make a "classier" presentation.

Great dip. We served it on water crackers. It was gone after 30 minutes. Picked the radishes and green onions from my garden today. Wonderful way to use them. I did not use the butter, other than that followed the recipe. I could see adding some crab to this at a future party. Thanks for posting.

UPDATE - I make this ALL the time. Never add the butter. I trim the radishes and rough chop and then put them in the mini food processor. Seems that this is now a requirements in our house for football Sundays.... :) Original review: I got a ton of radishes from my farm co-op and didn't know what to do with them - and then I found this recipe. I used low fat cream cheese and SKIPPED the butter. It was a great great dip. We snacked on it using crackers and cucumber rounds. Was very surprised how good this was! Don't be afraid -- make this!
