You will absolutely adore this orange salad recipe! It is a fresh and zesty and also sweet kind of salad with crunchy radishes! I like to serve it as a refreshing side dish salad for roast lamb, lemon chicken skewers or plain and simple grilled fish.
What a surprisingly fresh salad, this orange salad recipe is! It is strange actually because I used to hate fresh or even dried fruits of any kind in dishes.
Especially salads.
Savory Fruit Salads
Dried fruits and nuts are great as a trail mix or a healthy fibrous snack, but there’s no place for them in cooking. At least that’s what I thought back then.
Just because it tasted so awfully wrong!
Until I came across this beautiful salad once in a culinary magazine some time ago. Well there were a bunch of other vegetables in it as well. However I narrowed down the multiple flavors and ended up with this perfect fresh orange salad.

And it is a keeper.
What I like about it so much is the zesty sweetness of the orange. The fresh crunchy coming from the chopped onion and then the fresh radishes and the acidity of the vinegar. All this make this salad very light and appetizing.
That’s why I recommend to serve the orange salad for lunch with a couple of slices of toast and herbed cream cheese. I also like to serve it as a refreshing side dish salad for roast lamb, lemon chicken skewers or plain and simple grilled fish like a sea bream.
