Ingredients

SERVINGS: 2 Serving(s)
Salad
  • 4 mandarinquats, cut into quarters lengthwise (can substitute 6-7 kumquats, sliced into coins)
  • 1 small head radicchio, leaves torn into large petals
  • 5 ounces bucheron cheese
  • ¼ cup chervil sprigs (can also use dill, parsley, tarragon)
  • Flake salt and freshly ground pepper
Dressing
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated on a microplane
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Zest from 1 Meyer lemon
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until emulsified and taste. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.

In a serving bowl, combine torn radicchio and mandarinquats. Add 3-4 tablespoons of dressing and freshly ground pepper, and toss to coat. It should taste bright and somewhat punchy - add more dressing as needed and toss to combine.

Scatter chervil onto the salad and nestle in the cheese, broken into a few fragments. Finish lightly with flake salt and more pepper to taste.
