Radish and orange salad

A radish really brightens up your plate and brings a summery feel to it. Radishes are available all year round, all over the world. They contain plenty of vitamins and are very low in calories.
Due to their peppery flavour, they go well with some sweet alternatives, like for example an orange. Their rather crispy but light texture complements well with a softer, salty cheese, it will give more body to this salad.

Presented in a glass it will look more fancy and serves as a side dish with some paté and bread for lunch. A salad like this, with plenty of expressive flavours, just needs a simple dressing by emphasizing just one of the ingredients, in this case the orange, it will be reinforced by adding a bit of juice from a freshly squeezed orange to the olive oil.
