Description:

Winter Salad of Arugula, Strawberries & Blood Oranges

Ingredients:

How can a winter salad contain strawberries? Well, if you live in California, you can still get strawberries at the farmer's market! If you live in a colder climate, substitute sliced pears or red-skinned apples.

Prepare:

- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 blood orange, peeled and sliced into segments
- 1/4 cup shaved fennel
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet onions (Maui or Vidalia are good choices)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons meyer lemon juice (or substitute 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus 1 tablespoon orange juice)
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint

How to Serve:

In a salad bowl, gently toss together the strawberries, orange slices, fennel, arugula, and onions.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Toss the salad with the dressing and divide among salad plates. Sprinkle with chopped mint.
