Ingredients

8 radishes, trimmed
6 ounces cream cheese (I used low fat)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used Smart Beat Spread)
1 tablespoon parsley, without stems
1 teaspoon chives, snipped
fresh lemon juice
salt
ground black pepper
6 -8 slices pumpernickel bread
Garnish
4 trimmed radishes

Directions

1

For the filling, finely chop the radishes in the food processor (or hand grater). Place in a large sieve or colander. Press with paper towels to drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
2

Cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy (I used the food processor); add drained chopped radishes, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and cream again.
3

Cut crusts from bread and cut into small squares or rounds. Spread with filling, and garnish with sliced or whole radishes coated with coarse salt.
4

Chill thoroughly before serving.
