Radish And Chive Salad Recipes

Steps:

• The quantities of this salad are really up to you, but I look for roughly 2 parts fennel to 1 part radish. When buying radishes look for those that are really firm. The longer, oval-shaped ones are really nice. Wash them and slice thinly. Fennel comes in two types: the thinner Fennel and a rounder, fatter variety. It is the rounder, fatter fennel buds that you want -- these are normally much more well packed, less stringy and generally have a lot more of the green tops, which you need.
• Cut the tops and the excess stalk off the top of the fennel and set aside. Trim the bottom of the bulb in half and slice as thinly as possible from the root to the top. Put the radishes and the fennel into a bowl and cover with cold water, adding some ice. Leave for at least 15 minutes to get the radishes and fennel really, really crispy. Drain, spin them or pat them dry, put into a bowl and dress them with olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Chop the fennel tops and sprinkle them on top. This is great with grilled fish.

Steps:

• Tear the lettuce into approximately 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Cut the mushrooms, fennel and radishes into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a knife or a mandoline. Add to the bowl with the lettuce.
• Whisk the oil, lemon juice, chives, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a small bowl to blend. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to blend.
• Divide the salad among 4 plates and serve.

Steps:

• Toss all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Into a small saucepan of boiling salted water stir orzo and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain orzo well and in a bowl combine with mayonnaise and lemon juice, stirring to coat. Stir in radishes, chives, and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Stir 3/4 cup oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey and Worcestershire sauce in small bowl until honey dissolves. Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add half of spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to medium bowl. Cover. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and spinach. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook just until opaque in center and golden, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide spinach among plates. Place fish atop spinach. Spread tapenade over fish. Top with salad. Spoon vinaigrette around fish.
