Ingredients

  • Salads:
  • 6-8 cups baby spinach or arugula, washed and dried
  • 1 section (about 3") daikon radish, peeled
  • 2 oranges, peeled and cut in sections
  • 10-12 strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced
  • ORANGE-RASPBERRY Vinaigrette:
  • 3 Tbs raspberry, Moscatel or other light vinegar
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tsp maple syrup, honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp finely chopped shallots
  • 6 Tbs canola or olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

  1. Place the spinach in a salad bowl. Holding a very sharp knife at a 45 degree angle, cut the daikon radish into the thinnest slices you can make, then cut each slice into matchsticks. Add to the spinach.

  2. To make the dressing, in a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, juice, maple syrup, mustard, shallots, oil and salt. Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad; mix well. Add orange sections and sliced strawberries, and drizzle a little more vinaigrette over all. Serve immediately.
