Our Tuesday Growers Market is in full swing and we'll be bringing you recipes and photos from the market each week. This is the 11th season of our market and we're very excited to watch is grow and thrive each year. Our market is a great option for local food purchasing and is a nice alternative to the hectic market on Main Street. This is also a great opportunity to talk with the folks who are working so hard to provide our community with fresh and healthy food from within 50 miles of Moscow. The market takes place each Tuesday from 4-6:30pm in the Co-op;s parking lot and is pleased to offer music, food, games, and activities for kids this year. Come on down and join us!

This recipe for the Co-op's Radical Radish Dip is made using locally grown, bright, and delicious radishes. To make this dip you will need: 1 lb local radishes, trimmed 1 1/2 cups cream cheese 1 teaspoon garlic, minced 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 2 tablespoons dried dill weed

Wash and trim radishes and roughly chop. Place them in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Place a layer of cheesecloth in a strainer and drain radishes by squeezing, reserving the liquid. Add remaining ingredients to food processor with half the radishes. Blend until well incorporated.  Add remaining radishes and blend until smooth. Add a little of the radish liquid if dip seems too thick. Serve with sliced baguettes or gluten free crackers.
