Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing

  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
  • 2 teaspoons light agave
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For the watermelon radish pickles

  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 small watermelon radish

For the salad

  • 12 ounces sweet lettuce ( I used a mix of bibb, romaine, & butter lettuces) torn into bite sized pieces.
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 3 ounces pickled radish slices (about 10-12 slices)
  • 3/4 cup fennel, sliced thin on a mandolin
  • 1/3 cup fennel fronds
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup shredded green apple
  • 1/3 cup toasted pepitas

Instructions

Make the dressing

  1. In a jar with a tight fitting lid combine the zest, juice, vinegar, mustard, agave, salt, and pepper. Close tightly and shake vigorously until combined. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Make the pickled radishes

  1. In a jar with a tight fitting lid combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Place the lid tightly on the jar and shake until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Use a mandolin to slice the watermelon radish in uniform slices that are paper thin. transfer the radish slices to the jar with the brine, seal tightly, shake to distribute the brine in between the radish slices, and transfer to the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.

Build your salad

  1. Spread the lettuces across a large platter, sprinkle with cucumber, radish slices,and fennel slices. Sprinkle the salad with the fennel fronds, pomegranate seeds, shredded green apple, and pepitas. Serve with the dressing on the side.
  2. Alternatively, toss all of the ingredients into a large salad bowl. Pour 1/4 of the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side.
