Description

Bright citrus and winter greens combine in this refreshing salad. A simple orange vinaigrette ties it all together.


Ingredients

  • arugula
  • a variety of oranges (such as blood, cara cara, or navel)
  • pomegranate seeds
  • green apple slices
  • pumpkin seeds
  • diced avocado
  • Parmesan shavings

Instructions

  1. For the Orange Vinaigrette:
  2. Place all ingredients in a jar and shake or whisk well to combine.
  3. For the Salad:
  4. Lay down a bed of arugula.
  5. Top with fruit, pumpkin seeds, and Parmesan shavings to your desire.
  6. Drizzle orange vinaigrette on top.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To maximize flavor, use a mix of orange varieties for the salad, playing with their different sweetness and tartness levels.
  • For a creamier dressing, add 1 tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt to the orange vinaigrette.
  • Store leftover salad components (greens, fruit, avocado) separately and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness and prevent wilting.
