This Radish Salsa is bright, fresh, and perfect for summer!
Isn’t everything better with tortilla chips?
For some reason I don’t really see tortilla chips as real chips. Like, they might even actually be good for you, which is totally not true.
Maybe It’s just that tortilla chips are almost always the vehicle for other, healthier food for me. Like radish salsa!
I’m in love with just about all the salsas. Green, red, chipotle, black bean, you name it, and I want it on a chip.
Salsa tends to be packed full of flavor and low on calories, making it a great addition to quesadillas, tacos, and burritos.
I had no idea I loved radishes until just a couple years ago when I finally grew the heck up and tried them. Now I dream all year of radish season, just waiting to put them on my favorite sandwich and slice them thin over nachos.
How to Make Radish Salsa
Trim the stems off radishes and add to a food processor along with garlic, jalapeno, lemon juice, and cilantro. Let the food processor do the chopping, then stir in salt and pepper to taste. It’s so easy!
Tips for customizing radish salsa
- Leave in some of the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño for extra heat
- Add ½ cup diced cucumber for extra freshness
- If you don’t have a food processor simply chop everything by hand
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free – fist bump!

I know you mention leaving to sit for 20 minutes but if I made it the night before a party would that effect flavor or color at all?
Lindsay Moe says
No, I think it would be just fine!
Brooke says
Can you can this recipe like you can a tomato salsa?
