    Instructions
     

    DIRECTIONS

    • Toss the spinach and pea shoots and spread onto a platter.
    • Wash the radishes, then trim the root end from each.
    • Leave the other end intact so that you can grasp it while you slice the radishes.
    • Slice the radishes into ⅛” slices using a mandolin vegetable slicer.
    • Transfer radish slices to a bowl.
    • Thinly slice the english cucumber into ⅛” slices, and add to the bowl with the radishes.
    • Slice the tops and bottoms from each orange.
    • Using a sharp knife, cut away the skin and pith from each orange.
    • Insert the knife into the orange along the membrane line to release half the section.
    • Then slice into the section on the other side of the membrane line to fully release the section.
    • Repeat with all sections on both oranges.
    • Squeeze out the orange juice from the remaining membranes onto the radishes and cucumbers.
    • Toss to coat in the orange juice.
    • Spread the radishes and cucumber over the spinach and pea shoots, then dot the salad with the supremes.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, white vinegar, honey, salt, and a pepper.
    • Mix until the honey is thoroughly incorporated.
    • Whisk in the yogurt.
    • Pour in the olive oil in a continuous stream and whisk until emulsified.
    • Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.

    Notes
