Sandwich Simplicity

Since we began our day with a different sandwich there is this.  When we returned from our walk in the woods the other day I was hungry for a snack.  Fresh from the garden I’ve been looking forward to this for a year already. 

There is nothing more elegant in its simplicity than the radish sandwich.  Hearkening back to my childhood this was a favorite of my father and remains a summertime indulgence of mine.  It is sublime.   

Ingredients:   

Garden radishes – sliced thin  

Two slices of bread - rye, sourdough, whole wheat - you pick. 

Unsalted sweet cream butter – room temperature  

Sea salt  

Instructions:  

Slather each slice of bread generously with butter.   

Top with radish slices.  

Cracked sea salt over all to taste.  

Yields one sandwich.
