          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. Pomegranate seeds and oranges add vitamin C and antioxidants to support immunity, while avocado, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds provide healthy fats for sustained energy through colder months.
SALAD INGREDIENTS
- 1 head red leaf lettuce, washed and torn into 2-inch pieces
 - ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
 - 3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
 - 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
 - 2 oranges, segmented
 - 1 avocado, sliced
 - 3-4 tablespoons Citrus Dressing
 - Flaky salt
 
Citrus Dressing
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
 - ½ cup orange juice
 - 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
 - 4 teaspoons curry powder
 - 1 cup avocado or extra-virgin olive oil
 - ¼ cup packed mint leaves
 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
 
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.
 - Use leftover vinaigrette for grain salads, roasted vegetables, or other salads.
