Number of servings

ingredients

  • 3 Sunkist® Cara Cara oranges
  • 2 Sunkist® Blood oranges
  • 2 cups Boston Bibb lettuce 
  • 2 cups radicchio 
  • 0.5 cup pomegranate arils 
  • 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped

Vinaigrette ingredients

  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 0.25 cup Sunkist® Cara Cara juice
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup 
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt 
  • 0.75 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Using a small bowl, whisk together lemon and Sunkist® Cara Cara juice, maple syrup, mustard, and salt.

Step 2

Slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream and continue to whisk until it emulsifies.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, slice off the top and bottom of each orange. You want the citrus to sit flat on your chopping board. Follow the curve of the fruit and cut the pith and peel off. Slice fruit crosswise into ¼-inch disks.

Step 4

Transfer to a platter. Set aside.

Step 5

Arrange Bibb lettuce, radicchio, and orange slices on a large platter, in layers. Scatter pomegranate arils and red onion on top.

Step 6

Drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.

“My son and I love to create new and simple recipes together; this salad is a celebration of beautiful citrus and comes together very quickly.”
