Sweet & Spicy Pickled Radishes

Who would have known that radishes could taste so delicious? I made these pickled radishes the other night to go along with our chicken fajitas (recipe to come very soon). I also ate the leftover radishes as a snack the day after we had the fajitas.  The radishes have a lot of flavor & they are fun to eat because they look so pretty in their red juices! These radishes are great for topping on guacamole or other Mexican-like dishes. They are also perfect for guilty-free snacking! Enjoy.
