Recipe type: Winter Salad
Ingredients
  • For the salad:
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1 cup mixed tender greens
  • 1 medium blood orange
  • 1 medium Cara-Cara orange
  • 2 tangerines (or clementines)
  • ½ small fennel bulb, shaved on a mandolin
  • 4 small radishes, sliced thinly
  • 2 medium pitted dates, cut into slivers
  • ¼ cup toasted almonds
  • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
  • --- parsley or cilantro leaves for garnish
  • --- chives for garnish
  • For the vinaigrette:
  • 4 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 TBSP. good quality sherry vinegar
  • 1 TBSP. orange juice
  • 1 TBSP. shallot, minced
  • ½ tsp. honey
  • --- salt
  • --- freshly ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel citrus with a sharp knife, removing as much of the pith as possible. Remove any seeds and slice thinly. Slice the radishes thinly and place in a small bowl with water. (This will remove some of their sharp flavor).
  2. To make the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a mason jar and shake well. Dip a piece of the greens to taste and adjust the seasoning.
  3. On a platter, or a large shallow bowl, arrange the greens. Place the shaved fennel on top and then the citrus fruit and radishes. Finally, add the slivered dates, the pomegranate seeds, parsley leaves, chives and toasted almonds. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the salad or serve with the vinaigrette on the side.
