Before you start

Fiddleheads may be poisonous if eaten raw. Make sure you wash them well, soak at least 10 minutes to reduce their bitterness, and cook them in plenty of water.

Method

  1. Prepare the fiddleheads: wash them well and soak them at least 10 min.
  2. Steam them 10 min or blanch them 15 min in a pot of boiling salted water. Drain them and shake a few times to remove excess water. Let them cool down at least 10 minutes.
  3. Peel the oranges with a small paring knife, removing all the pith. Cut the oranges into pieces, reserving any juice that runs out. Put the oranges with their juice and fiddleheads in a salad bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, add the oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Beat well, using a fork, until the vinaigrette is emulsified.Pour the vinaigrette over the salad, mix lightly and serve.
