Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup sliced almonds
5 to 6 ounces baby arugula
2 oranges, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup thinly sliced and roughly chopped radishes
Pinch of ground cinnamon, to sprinkle on top
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • First, toast the almonds: In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the almonds until they are fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl to cool.
  • Place the arugula on a large serving platter or into a large serving bowl. Arrange the oranges, toasted almonds, goat cheese and radishes on top. Sprinkle the top lightly with a pinch or two of cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and salt. Whisk together until blended. Taste, and add a little more honey if it's unpleasantly tart.
  • Once you're ready to serve, drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad (you might have a little extra), toss, and serve immediately.

WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON



Wild Arugula and Beet Salad With Orange, Walnuts and Tarragon image

This is a salad filled with contrasting sweet and peppery flavors. Pungent wild arugula contrasts beautifully with sweet beets, anisy tarragon and juicy oranges. If you can find purslane, it makes a great addition to the salad, with its earthy flavor and almost juicy, delicate crunch. You can use a mix of colors for the beets. I roasted golden and red beets together, and the red beets bled into the outside layer of the golden beets, making their color striking in the salad.

ENDIVE, ARUGULA AND ORANGE SALAD



Endive, Arugula and Orange Salad image

Categories     Salad     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Orange     Walnut     Arugula     Spring     Summer     Endive     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium-size seedless oranges
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons walnut oil or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
4 medium-size heads Belgian endive, separated into leaves
1 large bunch arugula, ends trimmed
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • Using sharp knife, cut away all peel and white pith from oranges. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice in half. Set aside.
  • Whisk juice, olive oil, vinegar, walnut oil and orange peel in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine endive, arugula and orange slices in large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and arugula. If you can't find fresh arugula, baby spinach is a good substitute.
  • If you don't have walnuts, you can use pecans or almonds instead.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought orange segments instead of cutting your own.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and chop the nuts and oranges up to 2 days in advance. Store the dressing and chopped ingredients separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, toss the salad ingredients together and drizzle with the dressing.
  • This salad is also delicious with grilled chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

This orange, walnut, and arugula salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet oranges, crunchy walnuts, and peppery arugula is delicious, and the honey-orange dressing adds a touch of sweetness and tang. This salad is also a good source of vitamins A and C, and it's a good way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
