Chicory, Mint and Orange Salad

Chicory, Mint and Orange Salad

By OcadoLifePublished on 28 August 2026Combining bitter leaves with zesty citrus, this Chicory, Mint and Orange Salad is from chef and author Olivia Cavalli, whose cooking is influenced by her Italian heritage. “Bitter-tasting ingredients are common in Italian cuisine – not only for the flavour but for the belief that they bring digestive benefits too,” says Olivia. Here, they are balanced by sweet orange juice and honey, making this the perfect fresh accompaniment to a pasta dish.
