golden & candy striped beets

The watermelon radishes were from Wintermoon Farm in Hadley, MA and the beet varieties came from Vermont.

When i opened the box I did not even notice the radishes, to be quite honest they looked like unripe turnips.  It wasn’t until i read the newsletter that I discovered the treasure I possessed.  Once sliced, these greenish-white veggies will display a vibrant splash of color much resembling a watermelon.  So what did I make with my tasty treats- a colorful salad to brighten up my winter glum.
