Orange and Radish Salad With Pistachios Recipe (2024)

Made this for guests for on a hot Sunday on the terrace under an umbrella. No blood oranges to be found, I used all navel oranges. I had a monumental amount of white, icicle radishes and some French breakfast radishes. I used evo, as their was no pistachio oil to be found. Mixed the whole thing in one bowl, scattered some pistachios on top and the dish was well received and eaten in bowls with spoon as it was juicy as could be. Variation on this could last all summer.

Pistachio oil can be hard to find but can be made with relative ease: www.foodandwine.com/recipes/toasted-pistachio-oil.
It can be a nice accompaniment to a variety of salads and other recipes.

I've come to appreciate the complexity of flavors with the simplest combinations of ingredients in Ms. Schulman's recipes, as well as their clarity. This is a good example. The pistachios, mint, and citrus are really, really nice together. Next time I'll slice the radishes not quite so thin so they stay crisp.

Not enough radishes in the garden; replaced with kohlrabi. No pistachios in the kitchen; used pine nuts. Added a few sliced red onions. Result quite pleasant!

Nice salad to make in Spring and early Autumn when the farmer's markets have the full range of radish varieties in their colorful glory. Nice also with toasted almonds/roasted almond oil.

This was lovely. I used watermelon radishes and with the oranges and mint, the effect was quite festive. Kids all liked it. Perfect for potlucks.

This was a great recipe! I didn’t bother separating the oranges and the radishes as I made the dressing, I just tossed it together in a bowl. Normal oranges and two bunches of radishes will do - I just chopped the radishes instead of thinly slicing them and it was great. Honey instead of agave was amazing. Skip the pistachio oil but using organic ingredients is a MUST! Will make this again for some friends, my friend Amy loved it.

Made exactly as written for Thanksgiving. I bought pistachio oil on Amazonbut I think olive oil would be fine. This was stunning, refreshing and will be a permanent addition to our holiday menu.

I didn't have pistachio oil so substituted walnut. I plated this salad on a bed of arugula, oak leaf and butter lettuces, and radicchio. We loved it and couldn't imagine it without the greens!

Greenhouse Radishes from Blue Moon Acres, a couple of mandarins and some added micro greens. It may be winter outside but in my kitchen it’s spring!

I loved this salad. Couldn't find pistachio oil, so I subbed a combo of sesame & rice bran oil in a 1:3 ratio (1 tsp sesame, 3 tsp rice bran) which gave it a nice mild nutty flavor. I also only made enough for two servings - didn't need a big salad - and added 2 cups of kale which needed to be used up. Delicious!

Could this be made with mandarins which might cut down on the juicyness? More work to peel but if sections were cut in half would still be bite sized.

I used Cara Cara and blood oranges; loved the former but wasn't too thrilled with the latter. I used watermelon radish because it'a a favorite. I pretty much stuck to the dressing recipe. Unfortunately, although I was going to use honey instead of the nectar, I forgot to put it in. Oh, well, next time. It is delicious and quite refreshing.

Such a joyful winter salad. Followed the recipe almost-exactly, except for subbing honey for agave and throwing in a handful of chopped parsley that was wilting at the back of the fridge.

I was lacking ingredients- used Cherry-belle radishes, navel oranges, no mint, sub pistachio oil for roasted walnut oil. The double-citrus flavor from the orange and lemon was really refreshing. I made the radishes paper thin, but I recommend you go thicker on the mandolin. I also threw in sliced carrots, and topped the dish with crushed walnuts. Turned out good for my first time. Would like to try this again with a mix of radishes and oranges.

beautiful and so refreshing for a winter crunch and surge of clean goodness

Added feta cheese and used EVOO instead of pistachio oil...delicious

Would try for watermelon radishes if possible. Also would add lemon or lime or grapefruit zest in the dressing. Also could add grapefruit with oranges. I’d go heavy on the mint. Used suggestion of jicama in lieu of Daikon. Olive oil was fine substitute for nut oil.

I made this using Valencia oranges off my tree and daikon radishes from the Farmer's market. (no other types of orange or radish). I also didn't have pistachio oil and used hazelnut oil. The salad was fantastic!

Added Fennel and chopped nuts
