Now that the Thanksgiving leftovers have left the house, it’s time for some lighter fare.  I was thrilled to find huge watermelon radishes at the farmer’s market this weekend:

Not much to look at, until you slice them open:

I used the radishes, along with a box of arugula sprouts that I also got at the farmer’s market, to make our favorite Watermelon Radish and Sprout Salad.  It is as refreshing as it is easy, as it is pretty.  If you can’t find arugula sprouts, use baby arugula.
