Radish Dip

Radish Dip with Crackers

My friend makes a radish dip served with Bugles. I've had it a couple times, and it's always a big hit. When I "googled" radish dip with Bugles, a bunch of different recipes came up. So I decided try my hand at it too; here's my take on radish dip. For some reason it is really good with Bugles, but it's also good with crackers.

Radish Dip
1/2 lb. radishes
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 Tablespoons mayo
3 Tablespoons sour cream
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chives or green onions, sliced

• Chop or food process the radishes and add salt. 
• Move to a strainer to drain off the juice. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, occasionally stirring and pressing out the juice.
• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. 
• Stir in radishes and chives or onion. Season with salt if necessary.
• Serve with crackers or Bugles.

Notes: If you feel the peppery, radishy taste is too strong, add more cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream to tone down the flavor.
