I never did care for red radishes and would probably never buy them. I
did prepare the salad for my parents every night at dinner time when I
was a teen. They liked raw red radishes in their salad. They liked
both the "bite" (I'd call it sharpness) and the crunch.

They didn't eat the green tops. My parents weren't big on greens. Dad
considered greens to be food poor people ate. He picked dandylion
greens for his mother to cook during the Depression. That sort of put
him off "greens" for his lifetime. Me, I love turnip greens. Collards
are good, too, if they're cooked right. Sauteed spinach? You betcha!
But still maybe not radishes. LOL
