Chicory & Clementine Salad
Here we go! Another year has started and with it many new recipes to trial and have fun with! This year will be quite a different one for me. My move to Italy to pursue my studies (hopefully in person very soon) and discover new culinary cultures promises to be quite enriching.
So let’s kick off the new year with my Chicory & Clementine Salad. This delicate-looking and light salad will surely tickle your taste buds with its mix of bold flavours and textures.
The bitterness of the chicory leaves pairs perfectly with the sweet and salty honey-mustard dressing, while the toasted almonds bring nutty tones and a bit of crunch to complete this dish.
