Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 10-12 inches) Daikon radish
• 2 large Oranges
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon (toasted, optional) Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the daikon radish into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Use a mandoline slicer if available for uniform cuts.

Step 2

Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into segments, or slice them into thin rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced daikon radish, orange segments, and baby spinach.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad for a burst of freshness.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Enjoy!
