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.
