And if you want, you can eat it with tahini. You can make a Tahini Radish Salad!

Radish has a peppery flavor to it, which can b sometimes mild to hot. While tahini has a sweet and nutty taste to it. Tahini can be thick at times, while radish is crunchy. Combining these two will be an explosion of taste and texture.
