The other day I went to the Union Square Greenmarket here in New York, and was happy to discover Watermelon Radishes! I found them at a farm stand, and was happy to find that they had little samples out for me to try. "Watermelon Radish" is a fitting name for the vegetable, because they are very large, about the size of a softball, and have the same coloring of a watermelon. When sliced open, the outermost rim of the flesh is bright green and surrounds a watermelon pink flesh. I asked, and the woman said that they would be out all winter. Radishes are not my favorite vegetable, but they do make a great snack to put out right before mealtime, when everyone is hovering over pots and asking too many questions in the kitchen. But what makes these radishes great is their color. How many hot pink veggies or fruits do we have to save us from the beiges, oranges, and browns that make up our winter staples? Now we have one more. . . As for the snack, peel the radish, slice it into sticks (similar to carrots), and drizzle with some lemon juice.
