This colorful salad will make the most beautiful addition to your next meal… or it can be your next meal! I love incorporating citrus into a salad for the added sweetness and the hydration. Fruits like pomegranate seeds and oranges hydrate your body on a cellular level, unlike the mineral-deprived tap water that we normally drink. This salad is perfect for giving you that summer glow!
Serves 4
Ingredients
3-4 cups of baby arugula
1 naval orange, sliced
1 grapefruit, sliced
1 cup of pomegranate seeds
1 cup of shredded radicchio
1/2 cup of sliced radishes
1/3 cup of pumpkin seeds
1 handful of fresh mint
Citrus Dressing
1/4 cup citrus juice (lemon or orange)
2 T organic olive oil
1 T organic honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Directions
- Assemble the salad starting with the arugula base and then the radicchio. Add the citrus slices, radishes, pomegranate seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
- Squeeze the juice from the citrus membranes into a large measuring cup or jar; you’ll need ΒΌ cup, and additional juice can be discarded or used for another purpose. Add the extra virgin olive oil, honey, vanilla extract, and salt, then whisk to combine. Drizzle half the dressing over the citrus salad, then toss to combine.
- Top with mint leaves, serve, and enjoy!
