Watermelon Radish Salad

Vivid colors make your salads come alive. 

I first saw watermelon radishes at my nephew's wedding.  The thin slices adorned a side salad and had everyone talking about the unusual yet familiar coloring.  They have a mild peppery flavor.

serves:  6                           prep time:  15 minutes

6 ounces mixed lettuces, rinsed and dried
2 watermelon radishes, thinly sliced
2 scallions, sliced
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds or pepitas

Vinaigrette
1/3 cup light olive oil or canola oil
3 tablespoons white wine or rice vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl.  Mix together the vinaigrette and add enough dressing to moisten the salad.  Arrange the salad onto plates and serve.  About 175 calories per serving.
