ORANGE AND RADISH SALAD WITH PISTACHIOS



Orange and Radish Salad With Pistachios image

Before I put this salad together, I could imagine how it would feel and taste in my mouth: the juicy, sweet oranges playing against the crisp, pungent radishes. The combination was inspired by an orange, radish and carrot salad in Sally Butcher's charming book "Salmagundi: A Celebration of Salads From Around the World." The salad is a showcase for citrus, which is in season in California. Navels are particularly good right now, both the regular variety and the darker pink-fleshed Cara Cara oranges that taste like a cross between an orange and a pink grapefruit. I fell in love with blood oranges when I lived in Paris years ago, and although the Moro variety that we get in the United States doesn't have quite as intense a red-berry flavor as the Mediterranean fruit, its color is hard to resist. Here I use a combination of blood oranges and navels, and a beautiful mix of red and purple radishes and daikon. Dress this bright mixture with roasted pistachio oil, which has a mild nutty flavor that marries beautifully with the citrus. Put the prepared oranges and radishes in separate bowls and use a slotted spoon to remove the orange slices from the juices. Just before serving, arrange the oranges and radishes on a platter or on plates, spoon on the dressing and juices, and sprinkle with pistachios. You can also layer the elements, undressed, and pour on the liquids right before serving. For a juicier version, skip the slotted spoon and toss all of the ingredients together for a quenching salad that is best served in bowls.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 blood oranges (about 1/2 pound)
2 medium navel oranges (about 1 pound)
Fleur de sel or coarse sea salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
6 ounces radishes (about 1 cup sliced)
4 ounces daikon radish (about 1/3 daikon)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon agave nectar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
Pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons roasted pistachio oil
1/4 cup lightly toasted unsalted pistachios (about 1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Remove orange peels: Cut off both ends of the oranges. Stand them up on the cut side and remove the rest of the peel and pith by cutting away strips; move your knife down the sides of the orange from top to bottom. Use a cutting board with a canal for catching juices, and cut oranges, crosswise, into rounds. Place in a bowl and tip in juices. Add fleur de sel and chopped mint, and toss together.
  • Slice radishes and daikon as thin as you can. (Use a mandolin or a Japanese slicer if you have one.) Place in separate bowl and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
  • Whisk together lemon juice, agave, cinnamon, cayenne and pistachio oil. Divide evenly among the two bowls with oranges and radishes, and toss.
  • Use a slotted spoon to lift oranges from juices that accumulate in bowl and arrange, with radishes, on a platter or plates. Just before serving, spoon on the juices and dressing left behind in bowl, and top with pistachios and mint.

ORANGE AND RADISH SALAD



Orange and Radish Salad image

The marriage of radish and orange punches way above its weight as a salad. This version is based on one James Beard collected. Alice Waters, the founder of Chez Panisse, has a recipe, too. So does Paula Wolfert, who dedicated her nine cookbooks to Mediterranean cuisine. Their inspiration came from countless Moroccans who have this salad in regular rotation, often with orange flower water. This recipe leaves it out, opting for a simpler but still refreshing salad that requires careful, precise preparation of the oranges and the radishes to make it shine. If you like, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dressing or sprinkle a bit on top.

Categories     brunch, lunch, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Flaky sea salt
4 large oranges (preferably a mix of Cara Cara and navel oranges), peeled, pith completely removed, citrus sliced into rounds, deseeded and chilled, plus fresh orange zest for garnish if desired
1 bunch red radishes, cut into thin matchsticks and chilled

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice, sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt in a jar. Twist on the lid and shake until the sugar and salt dissolve; chill dressing thoroughly.
  • When ready to serve, simply arrange the orange rounds on a serving dish or individual plates, top with a pretty pile of radish matchsticks and drizzle with the dressing. Grate a bit of orange zest on top, if desired, and serve with the tiniest bit of flaky sea salt for finishing, if you like - but that exact amount is best left to individual diners.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges. For this salad, you'll want to use a variety of orange that is sweet and juicy, such as navel oranges or Valencia oranges.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the oranges. This will help to prevent the oranges from becoming bruised.
  • Be careful not to overcook the radishes. They should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will help to enhance the flavor of the salad.
  • Add the olives last. This will help to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This is a salad that is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

This orange, radish, and olive salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try.
