Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole oranges
- 8 whole radishes
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional)
Instructions
Peel the oranges and slice them into thin rounds. Remove any seeds. Arrange the slices on a large serving plate, slightly overlapping them for presentation.
Wash the radishes thoroughly and slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Scatter the radish slices over the oranges.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely, reserving a few whole leaves for garnishing, and sprinkle the chopped mint over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the orange and radish slices, ensuring every part of the salad is coated for maximum flavor.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Sprinkle them over the salad.
If desired, add a final touch of sweetness and color by sprinkling pomegranate seeds over the top.
Garnish the salad with the reserved whole mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
