A Refreshing Spring Citrus Salad With Heirloom Radishes

The sisters behind Block Shop share one of their family-style salad recipes with their go-to vinaigrette.

Spring Citrus Salad Recipe

• mix of spring lettuces
• 1 head radicchio
• 1 head endive (curly endive if you’re feeling glamorous)
• 1 fennel bulb, sliced thinly into crescents
• 2 to 3 small Valencia oranges, sliced and peeled
• 1 pomelo, segments de-skinned and broken up into pieces
• fistful of mint, leaves torn
• fistful of cilantro, stems loosely torn off 
• 6 rainbow or heirloom radishes, sliced
• almond slivers to garnish

Hopie’s Vinaigrette Recipe

• 1 shallot, finely chopped (or a touch of pressed garlic)
• 2 tablespoon Wonder Valley olive oil 
• 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
• dollop whole-seed French mustard
• 2 teaspoon agave syrup or honey, to taste
• cracked black pepper

1. Mix salad ingredients in a nice serving bowl and toss with vinaigrette.
2. Top with almond slivers, toasted dry in a skillet until just beginning to turn gold. (Make sure to add after dressing so they stay crunchy.) Bon appétit!
