50g pecorino cheese

½ cup pitted Castelvetrano green olives, torn in half

¼ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves

METHOD

1. Combine the shallot and vinegar with a pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl.

5. Drain water and spin the salad spinner to dry the radicchio.

6. Once dry, add your radicchio back into the bowl.

7. Slice the fennel thinly and carefully on your mandoline and add to your bowl.

8. Zest the oranges before peeling with a paring knife. Cut the oranges into slices about 1cm thick. Add them to your bowl.

9. Use a vegetable peeler to peel shavings of the pecorino into your salad.

10. Add in pitted olives, the mint leaves and for an extra hint of flavour, orange zest.

11. Toss everything with the dressing and a good pinch of salt. Enjoy!
