Easy Lemon Butter

Get ready for a delicious and super easy lemon butter! With just three ingredients, it’s a breeze to whip up. It’s perfect for spreading on crackers topped with thinly sliced radishes or drizzling over steamed or roasted garden veggies like corn, potatoes or green beans.

I look forward to spring and seeing the first local produce hitting the farms.   Yesterday we took a ride and scored radishes, rhubarb, strawberries, 2 kinds of peas, lettuce, and local milk & cheese.    Today I wanted a light and simple lunch, and I thought about the radish/saltine creations I loved last year. 

I had seen a post on FG of radishes on rye bread with lemon butter and thought that sounded great.  I whipped up the lemon butter, spread it on some Club crackers, layered the radishes on, sprinkled with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. So good!
