  1. Rinse the lettuce and radishes well with cold water, set aside to dry on a clean kitchen towel.
  2. While the greens dry, prepare the vinaigrette by combining the minced shallot, turmeric powder, honey, apple cider vinegar and orange juice in a bowl. Using a microplane, grate in the fresh ginger. Pouring in a slow stream, whisk in the grapeseed and olive oil. The vinaigrette should be slightly thick once all the oil is incorporated. Season to taste with maldon salt and freshly cracked black pepper, set aside.
  3. Thinly slice the breakfast radishes using a mandolin, about 1/8 of an inch thick.
  4. Add the lettuce, radishes and 2/3 of the fennel flowers to a serving bowl. Pour the dressing over the greens and toss. Top with more fennel flowers and freshly cracked pepper. Enjoy immediately.
