Late October – early December marks the Satsuma season in North Florida. These Mandarin oranges are a treat you won’t want to miss. This kale and satsuma salad highlights fresh Satsumas, kale and radishes. The satsuma dill vinegratte is another great way to celebrate the season.

Ingredients:

• 1 large bunch kale

• 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tsp minced fresh dill

2. Using a sharp serrated knife, trim off the peel and pith of 5 Satsumas and slice them horizontally into thin 1/4″ rounds. Add on top of kale.
3. Wash slice radishes thinly add to top of the kale.
