Radicchio, Radish & Naartjie Salad - Recipe

Sweet, bitter, crunchy & tangy, this beautiful winter salad is an absolute stunner. You can use any salad leaves although I find the bitter salad leaves with citrus works best. Any winter citrus will do and this salad is the perfect way to use any citrus you might have in your fruit bowl.

PREP TIME: 10mins

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large orange 
  • 2 naartjies
  • 3 handfuls bitter leaves roughly torn
  • 50 g radishes washed & quartered
  • 6 medjool dates pitted and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

Dressing

  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • juice of of 1 naartjie
  • zest of 1/2 orange or 1 naartjie
  • 1 1/4 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 1/2 tspn pomegranate molasses or maple syrup
  • salt & pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the dressing ingredients to a bowl or jar, mix well and taste. You are looking for a good combination of salt, sweet and tangy. Leave to infuse while you get on with making the rest of the gorgeous salad.
  • Peel the naartjie and slice into rounds (like a wheel) trough the middle. Peel the orange with a small knife, hold the orange gently in your hand. With a sharp thin knife, carefully cut between a segment and the membrane. Do not cut all the way through—just to the center. Give it a little twist and peel the segment away from the other connective membrane.
  • Place the segments and the naartjie wheels in a bowl with the leaves, radishes and dates.
  • Toast the pumpkin seeds by stirring them in a dry pan over a medium heat for a minute or so or until they start to ‘pop’ in the pan – cool slightly and tip into the salad.
  • When ready to serve, add the dressing over the salad, toss well and serve immediately.
