Zimmy’s Nook pulled together this simple but luscious salad that highlights the bright and tangy flavors of winter fruits, perfectly complemented by a simple honey Dijon vinaigrette. This salad is stunning for a special dinner but so simple you’ll want to get it on the table regularly.
Salad Ingredients:
4 cups Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Red Butter Lettuce
4 cups Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Arugula
1 cup fresh pomegranate arils
2 blood oranges, skin removed & sliced
2 seedless clementines, peeled & sectioned
1 small apple, core removed, thinly sliced (I used a Pink Lady)
1/2 cup candied pecan pieces (store bought or home made)
Honey Dijon Dressing (recipe follows)
Honey Dijon Dressing
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Place the greens on a large platter. Add the, oranges, clementines and apple, then sprinkle with pomegranate arils and pecans.
Just before serving, drizzle about 1/2 cup of the dressing (more to taste) over the salad and gently toss.
Honey Dijon Dressing
Combine all ingredients in a glass jar (with a tight-fitting lid) and shake well to combine.
Refrigerate leftover dressing and use for another salad or drizzle on roasted vegetables.
