This bright and beautiful salad combines some of the season’s best ingredients to make a dish that looks as good as it tastes.
Salad Ingredients
• 5oz baby arugula
• 1 large or 2 small cara cara oranges (about ¾ lb.), sliced
• 1 large or 2 small heirloom navel oranges (about ¾ lb.), sliced
• 1½ lbs. watermelon radish, thinly sliced
• ½ cup feta cheese
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
I like to make my own dressing, but this dish also works great with a pre-made vinaigrette!
Honey Lemon Vinaigrette
