Winter Salad with Citrus
Seasonal salads offer a nice way to fill your plate with the best of winter produce. This one balances its fruit and greens with a tangy curried lime vinaigrette.

What you'll need
Directions
-
To make the Citrus Dressing, place all ingredients in the Nama C2 and blend for 30 seconds. When finished, taste the dressing with a piece of lettuce, then adjust the seasoning as needed.
-
To assemble the salad, place the lettuce, walnuts, pomegranate seeds, and pumpkin seeds in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle two tablespoons of the dressing over the top, then gently dress the greens using your hands or salad tongs until the greens are evenly coated.
-
Add more vinaigrette to reach the desired consistency, then place the greens in a serving bowl. Top with the segmented oranges and the avocado slices, along with a generous pinch of flaky salt.
Note
The remaining vinaigrette lasts for up to one week when it is refrigerated in an air-tight container.
