Steps

1. 1

   1. Begin by peeling and removing the membrane from 4 small or 3 medium oranges to reveal the succulent flesh inside.

2. 2

   Cut the Korean radish into 1/4-inch-thick round slices and place them neatly on a serving platter. Then, halve the small red onion lengthwise, peel it, and thinly slice it.

3. 3

   For a visually appealing presentation, slice the onions horizontally rather than lengthwise. To reduce their pungency, soak the onions in ice water for 5 to 10 minutes if they are too strong. Ensure to thoroughly drain them before incorporating into the salad. Create a vinaigrette by combining 2 tablespoons of orange juice, 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar, as well as salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
