Has anyone seen this at a grocery store?
My mom, aka Martha Stewart II, has assigned me this elaborate, decorative salad to make for Easter. Remind me to cancel her subscription to Good Housekeeping. My brother gets to bring store bought cupcakes and I'm bringing a salad that looks like a decorated Easter egg. This is the price I pay for free child care.
Anyway, it requires golden beets and watermelon radishes. Has anyone seen them in a grocery store? If so, where?
And as an aside, I'm going to be so pissed when people eat my beautiful salad that cost me $82 to make and about 4 hours of time. I just want my hard work admired. Is that wrong?

Take pictures!
For veges that are out of the norm, I always check Meat Farms.
They have a larger produce selection than a normal supermarket

I'd be more upset if i saw no one touched my salad but everyone was eating my brothers store bought cupcakes

My FIL just made golden beets the other night, and I think he said he went to Best Market for them.

I don’t even know what watermelon radishes are and I feel like I’m usually pretty up on the food trends.
You need to post the link to this recipe.

She literally ripped it out of her magazine to give me. I will have to look for it online later. I was like what the hell is a watermelon radish?! And now I'm going to have to dust off my mandolin slicer and figure out how to use that puppy.

I've had watermelon radishes, they taste like regular radishes lol. I would bet whole foods has both, maybe even meat farms since they have a good variety of produce.

I'd bring a bagged Dole salad. Or if you want to class it up, one of the pre-made Stew Leonard salads for $14.99..

Re: Has anyone seen this at a grocery store?
we get golden beets in Whole Foods. I don't know if they have them all the time, though. ( they are way less messy than regular beets)
a larger asian produce store may have both.
are you near an hmart? they have the widest variety of produce I have ever seen. locations are in the link, but they have stores in a few areas of queens, great neck, jericho

That was it!
Easter Rainbow Salad
I have to say...it was delish. The dressing was awesome.
Thanks to all of you for your help. I found the beets at Wild By Nature. I couldn't find watermelon radishes anywhere so I settled for regular radishes. Then I got annoyed that I was hunting down radishes because nobody likes radishes. Come on now! But the salad looked very purdy (after I essentially broke out every frickan kitchen gadget I got at my bridal shower to make everything look nice) and was yummy.
