Citrus and Nut Salad topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 red oranges
- 4 tangerines
- 0.5 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 and 3/4 teaspoons split pink peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons country Dijon mustard
- 1 head frisee lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 3 heads endive, halved and thinly sliced
- Half a small head of radicchio, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Using a small, sharp knife, trim the ends of the oranges and 3 tangerines, then remove the peel and white pith. Working over a medium bowl, cut each membrane lengthwise on both sides to release the segments into the bowl; discard any seeds. Juice the remaining tangerine into a small bowl to yield about 2 tablespoons of juice.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss walnuts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns, and a pinch of salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: Add vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon pink peppercorns, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the mandarin juice and whisk. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking until emulsified; season with salt to taste.
- Combine the frisée, endive, radicchio, parsley, and orange and mandarin segments in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss, season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and the remaining 1 teaspoon of pink pepper.
