Chef's Narrative
This straight-ahead salad will inspire you to riff on the base to come up with your own favorite combinations. Peppery and nutty greens like watercress and arugula are natural additions or substitutions. For the pistachios, toasted hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds or almonds are great variations. Cooking Tip: Honey will balance the tartness of the citrus.
Recipe Substitutions
Use kumquats, mandarin oranges or tangerines for one of the citrus fruits and substitute lemon juice with yuzu, lime or verjus. Add a diced apple, 2 sliced radishes, 1 cup of grated jicama, 1 diced chayote pear squash or 1 diced avocado. Flavor options that we like are finely chopped mint varieties, shaved fennel or savory. To make vegan, replace honey with agave syrup.
