Watermelon Radish, Chive, & Goat Cheese Toast
This toast was inspired by two things: the watermelon radishes I found at the farmers market and these seedless lemons gifted to me. Yes, SEEDLESS LEMONS!
This is not sponsored at all — I’m just literally shook by how convenient these lemons were even when I never thought seeds were that annoying before. But not needing to hold my hand under the lemon while squeezing to catch any seeds was a game-changer and now I feel like regular lemons are forever ruined for me??
There are literally zero seeds in these lemons. So cool!
These naturally seedless lemons can be found at Costco. I actually spotted some when we made a trip last month.
And watermelon radishes. I had never seen them in grocery stores so I was super curious when I found a stand at the farmers market in Outer Sunset selling them and just bought a few on a whim. Consider me a radish convert! The flesh is so, so beautiful and definitely lives up to the name. And that vivid pink radish inside is tasty — it’s a little peppery but refreshing and the crunch is super satisfying with each bite.
Feeling inspired by the bright yellow and pink in front of me, I threw together this toast that gives me fresh spring/summer vibes just looking at it. Mixed with creamy goat cheese and fresh chives, it’s definitely something I want to eat again and again.
Watermelon Radish, Chive, & Goat Cheese Toast
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
½ of a lemon
1 small watermelon radish
1 tbsp goat cheese
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1 slice of toast
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Wash your radish and thinly slice with a knife or with a mandolin. Depending on how big your radish is, you might not need to use the whole thing, so just slice however many you want to eat!
Toast a slice of bread and then spread the goat cheese on top.
Layer the radish slices on top and squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the top. With a zester or microplane, gently zest the lemon half over the toast.
Top with the freshly chopped chives and a pinch of salt (I used Morton coarse salt).
Optional: edible flowers for an additional fresh vibe — this is totally not necessary but you can also grow edible flowers at home. I have nasturtiums growing in our yard!
