Ingredients
  • 2 navel oranges
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 ozs. baby arugula
  • ¼ cup Pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or canola oil)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Marinated red onions (recipe follows)
  • ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
MARINATED RED ONIONS
  • ½ medium red onion, sliced into paper-thin rings
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel and trim the pith from oranges. Slice crosswise about ¼-inch thick.
  2. Cut the avocado in half crosswise to remove the pit, peel, then slice crosswise into circles about ¼-inch thick. (note, this is a different way to cut the avocado to get round rings!)
  3. Arrange a few slices of orange and avocado on a serving plate. Scatter arugula and pomegranate seeds on top.
  4. In small bowl, whisk together molasses, avocado oil and lemon juice. Drizzle the molasses mixture evenly over the salad.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with pumpkin seeds and marinated onions.
MARINATED RED ONIONS
