Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 10-12 inches) Daikon radish
- 2 large Oranges
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon (toasted, optional) Sesame seeds
Instructions
Peel and slice the daikon radish into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Use a mandoline slicer if available for uniform cuts.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into segments, or slice them into thin rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced daikon radish, orange segments, and baby spinach.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad for a burst of freshness.
If desired, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Enjoy!
