As you can see by the picture, I’ve come a long way since my days of eating bologna between two slices of mayo-slathered white bread. I do still crave an occasional peanut butter and jelly sandwich, though.

When I made some Rosy Radish Dip, fashioned after the delicious radish dip I tasted recently at Food and Farm Day at Common Roots Cafe in Minneapolis, I thought it would be great spread on a bagel, eaten along with a fresh green salad for lunch. And it was.

The bagel spread with radish dip led to the creation of a sandwich. I’m sure you would have plenty of ideas of your own — sandwich ingredients that would be delicious with the zesty pink radish dip.

This is my creation and I absolutely love it. Such a great way to eat radishes.

For each sandwish:

• 1 bagel, cut in half
• Rosy Radish Dip (click here to get my recipe)
• Fresh alfalfa sprouts
• Sunflower seeds
• Thinly sliced turkey from the deli
• Thin slices of cucumber

Lightly toast the bagel. Spread cut sides with Rosy Radish Dip. Start building the sandwich. Sprouts, sunflower seeds, turkey, cucumber slices, top half of bagel.
