Ingredients
For the Orange Dressing:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Salad:
- ½ head radicchio thinly sliced
- 1 box baby arugula 5 ounces
- 2 navel oranges peeled and segmented
- 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese or feta
- ½ cup cinnamon roasted almonds roughly chopped, or sliced almonds
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
Make the Orange Dressing:
- Add mayonnaise, oil, orange juice, honey, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
Make the Salad:
- In large bowl, toss radicchio and arugula until well combined.
- Arrange arugula mixture on large circular platter with a small bowl in the middle reserved for dressing.
- Top salad with oranges, cheese, almonds and pomegranate seeds.
- Pour dressing into bowl in center of salad and serve immediately.
Notes
- When you get to the part where you are cutting the orange segmentsout of their peel, be sure you do this over a bowl, so that the juice drips into the bowl and you can save it for the dressing!
- Taste the dressing before serving and make sure it’s to your liking. Adjust the flavor with additional honey, salt and/or pepper if needed.
- Love citrus flavor? Before segmenting the oranges, zest one of them, and then sprinkle the zest over the finished salad for an extra burst of citrus flavor and aroma.
