Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 2 tablespoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). On a baking sheet, toast the walnuts for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and browned. Let them cool and chop coarsely.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, and mustard. While whisking constantly, gradually add the oil in small amounts and continue whisking until the dressing reaches an emulsified consistency, then add salt, pepper, and thyme.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss together the watercress, radicchio, carrots, turnips, oranges, and ¼ cup of sliced kumquats, removing the seeds (adding them is optional), and add the toasted walnuts. Dress the salad, season with salt and pepper, and toss again. The dish is ready. Enjoy your meal!
