Moroccan Radish Salad

Finely grated radishes dressed in orange juice with lemon, sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 500 g radishes
• 2 oranges
• 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 bunch mint
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. Wash the radishes, trim off the greens and root ends, and soak the bulbs in cold water for 10 min. so they turn really crisp.
2. Pat the radishes dry, grate them on the coarse side of a grater and lightly drain off the water that comes out.
3. Fillet one orange, catching the juice, and squeeze the second orange; also squeeze the lemon.
4. Whisk the orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, olive oil and a pinch of salt into a dressing until the sugar has dissolved.
5. Gently mix the grated radish and orange segments with the dressing and chill for 10 min. so the flavors come together.
6. Sprinkle with finely cut mint and serve – the salad tastes best freshly dressed.
