Watermelon radishes make a striking base for this salad, and pair deliciously with the slightly sweet fennel, peppery watercress, salty feta and citrusy orange slices.
Serves 4
Ingredients
3 Tbsp. champagne vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large watermelon radish, peeled and sliced into very thin rounds
1 bunch watercress, trimmed
1 fennel bulb, cored and sliced into very thin strips
1 cara cara (or naval) orange, segmented
2 ounces feta cheese
Make the dressing: In a glass jar with a lid, or in a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Shake or whisk to emulsify.
Place the watermelon radishes in a shallow bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Arrange the radishes on individual salad plates.
Place the watercress in a medium mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.
Arrange a mound of greens on top of the radishes.
Top each with some fennel strips, orange segments and crumpled feta cheese. Drizzle with a little more dressing and serve.
