RADISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the filling, finely chop the radishes in the food processor (or hand grater). Place in a large sieve or colander. Press with paper towels to drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
• Cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy (I used the food processor); add drained chopped radishes, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and cream again.
• Cut crusts from bread and cut into small squares or rounds. Spread with filling, and garnish with sliced or whole radishes coated with coarse salt.
• Chill thoroughly before serving.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• To serve, spread the cheese mixture on the toasts. Top with the sliced cucumber and radishes and garnish with dill sprigs.
