Did you know that radish is packed with anti-oxidants, electrolytes, minerals, and vitamins?
studies show that radish contains isothiocyanate anti-oxidant compound called sulforaphane, which helps fight against prostate, breast, colon and ovarian cancers by virtue of its cancer-cell growth inhibition, and cyto-toxic effects on cancer cells <----WOW!
Its fresh roots contain adequate levels of folates, vitamin C, vitamin B-6, riboflavin, thiamin and minerals such as iron, magnesium, copper and calcium. Who knew? right? Anyway, I am super excited to share with your this delicious yet so simple recipe. I bet you could make this under 5 minutes.

1 bunch of red radishes, about 1 1/2 cups finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/3 cup of chopped dill.
