½ heads - Radicchio
1 head - Lettuce, Romaine
4 - whole Clementine, or navel oranges
2 - whole Avocado
½ cup - Pistachios
¼ cup - Vegan Parmesan Cheese
½ cup - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
¼ cup - White Wine Vinegar
2 tablespoons - Pure Maple Syrup
2 teaspoons - Dijon Mustard, or stone ground mustard
2 teaspoons - Orange Zest

Instructions

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.
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.
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.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the dressing and stir to combine, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Pour dressing over salad, or keep separate and add when serving. Enjoy!
