Citrus-Walnut Salad

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 3 blood oranges
  • 4 tangerines
  • 1/2 c roughly chopped walnuts
  • 5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-3/4 tsp cracked pink peppercorns
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp country dijon mustard
  • 1 head frisee, torn into bite-size pieces \
  • 3 endives, halved and thinly sliced > I used Romaine lettuce instead of all of these
  • 1/2 small head radicchio /
  • 1/2 c fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Using a small sharp knife, cut the ends off the blood oranges and 3 tangerines, then cut away the peel and white pith. Working over a medium bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane to remove the segments, letting them drop into the bowl; discard any seeds.

Squeeze the juice from the remaining tangerine into a small bowl to get about 2 Tbsp.

Preheat the oven to 400º. Toss the walnuts with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp pink peppercorns and a pinch of salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 - 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the dressing:

Add the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 tsp pink peppercorns and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the tangerine juice and whisk to combine.

Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/4 c olive oil, whisking to combine; season with salt.

Combine the frisee, endives, radicchio, parsley and blood orange and tangerine segments in a large bowl.

Pour in the dressing and toss; season with salt. Top with the toasted walnuts and remaining 1 tsp pink peppercorns.
