Instructions
1
Cut radicchio into thin strips. TIP: If you want to make the radicchio slightly less bitter, soak the cut up strips in ice water for 30 minutes, before drying and assembling the salad.
2
Prepare other ingredients: Cut lettuce into thin strips. Zest one of the oranges (should be about 2 tsp zest) and reserve for the dressing. Peel the oranges and chop the avocado and pistachios.
3
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl or platter, arrange the radicchio and lettuce, then top with orange segments and avocado. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and parmesan.
4
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the dressing and stir to combine, adding salt and pepper to taste.
5
Pour dressing over salad, or keep separate and add when serving. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Greens Before Assembly 🧊Wash and refrigerate your romaine and radicchio for at least 30 minutes before serving to maximize crispness and prevent wilting when the warm vinaigrette is added.
- Toast Pistachios for Enhanced Nuttiness 🥜Lightly toast your pistachios in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes just before serving to unlock deeper, more complex nutty flavors that elevate the entire salad.
- Emulsify Your Vinaigrette Properly 🥣Whisk the Dijon mustard and vinegar together first, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to create a stable, creamy emulsion that coats the greens evenly.
- Add Avocado Last Minute ⏰Slice and add your avocado just before serving to prevent browning and maintain its creamy texture without becoming mushy from the acidity of the citrus dressing.
- Balance Citrus Components Strategically 🍊Use fresh orange zest in the vinaigrette and reserve whole clementine segments for garnish—this layering technique provides bright citrus notes throughout while keeping the fruit segments visually striking and structurally intact.
