There’s a non-kosher restaurant in New York that’s famous for this salad. I’ve never tasted it, of course, but that didn’t stop me from going down a curiosity rabbit hole trying to replicate it for myself. The result is sweet and savory, with a little kick that helps everything feel tied together.

Contains: Sesame

Directions

Prepare the Dates

  1. Pit the dates and cut into quarters. Slightly flatten them out to create a flat surface.

  2. Preheat oil in a skillet and sear the dates for two minutes per side, being careful that they don’t burn.

Zest the Oranges

  1. Zest the oranges and reserve for the dressing. Cut one and a half into segments, reserving the remaining half.

Prepare the Dressing

  1. Juice the orange half and add the zest.

  2. Add remaining ingredients and whisk well until smooth.

To Assemble

  1. Pour 3/4 of the dressing over the cabbage and toss well. Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish.

  2. Top with dates, radishes, orange segments, and scallions. Drizzle with remaining dressing.

  3. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the entire bowl and serve.

Cooked or roasted beets make a perfect addition to this salad!
