Week 8 Recipes

Cucamelon/Radish Salad: The cucamelons have more of a cucumber flavor than melon, but they’re still sweet enough to cut the peppery flavor of radishes. Try chopping the cucamelons in half and then slicing radishes thinly with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a dash of red wine vinegar for an excellent relish or side salad.

Cucamelon Bruschetta: Here is a nice recipe for Bruschetta, if you’d like to save your tomatoes for something else. Once you combine these ingredients in a mason jar, you can also add a bit of extra vinegar and leave in the fridge for several days for a quick pickle recipe.

Ground Cherry Salsa: To be honest we most frequently just eat our ground cherries raw as a berry snack. But if you’d like to incorporate them into a meal or if they have a bit too much acid for your raw preferences try this. Roast up the tomatoes as you would for a smokier salsa like salsa verde and then cut the savory flavor with puréed ground cherries.
