This simple little salsa-like relish is lovely with any simply cooked chicken or fish. It can also be added on top or alongside winter salads for a burst of spicy sweetness. It can even act as the dressing on a simple green salad—arugula is a particularly good choice.

Serves 6-8

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cut off and discard the ends of the clementines. Working with one at a time, set a clementine on its now-flat surface. Use a sharp knife to cut down its sides, removing the peel and pith from the fruit, repeat all the way around until you have a fully peeled and pith-free clementine. Slice crosswise and, working over a bowl to collect the juices, pull the sections apart and removing seeds as necessary (if you end up with larger chunks of membrane, feel free to discard those). Repeat with remaining slices and remaining clementines.

Trim and thinly slice the green onion. Add it to the clementines.

Seed and mince the chile. Add it to the clementines.

Roughly chop the herbs and, you got it, add them to the clementines.

Toss to combine, sprinkle in the salt, toss again. Taste and add more salt, if you like. Serve as soon as you like.
