Let this salad, served with a simple and bright tangerine dressing, make regular appearances on your table throughout the holidays.

We’ve been collecting the prettiest produce this winter. All kinds of citrus and colorful greens, bright radishes and curling pea shoots. I’ve been going through boxes of film trying to document it all. This salad, served with a simple and bright tangerine dressing, has made a regular appearance at our table all season and I suspect that we’ll be serving versions of it throughout the holidays.
