This bright and colorful salad is as flavorful as it is beautiful! It also takes 5 minutes to prepare - an added bonus. I personally love serving this with a hearty, winter meal like a stew or pasta. The tang from the citrus and creamy avocado provides perfect balance for a heavier main course. Or top this with chicken and/or nuts (toasted almonds, pistachios, and pine nuts would be a great addition) for a satisfying lunch!


Ingredients:

(serves 4)

  • 2 large handfuls of arugula

  • 1 head of radicchio, sliced thin

  • 1 fennel bulb, sliced thin

  • 2 oranges, peeled and sliced in rounds

  • 1 avocado, sliced

For the dressing:

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

  • Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Toss it with the arugula and radicchio and place in a serving bowl/dish. (You may not need all the dressing - you can always save the extra)!

  • Top with sliced fennel, orange, and avocado and serve!
