Watermelon Radish and Cream Cheese Toasts (Smoked Salmon Optional)

I love watermelon radishes! They are a bright, beautiful addition to the winter table. These are one of my favorite appetizers to serve around the holidays. They are quick and easy, not too heavy, and always a big hit. Watermelon radishes are a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and smoked salmon is high in heart healthy omega-3s. I am growing these in my garden this winter but they weren’t quite ready for the holidays so I picked some up at the farmer’s market. They can be a little difficult to find at regular supermarkets, but I have seen them at Whole Foods and other natural foods markets.
