California Winter Salad with Tangerine Dressing

3

I just love food that coordinates with any holiday theme, so this salad was a no-brainer to create.  Vibrant red radicchio and pomegranate paired with tender green spinach create an easy, festive and tasty salad to serve at any Holiday function you have this year.

The tangy Tangerine Vinaigrette is the perfect compliment to all the bold flavors in the salad, including gorgonzola cheese and toasted pecans.

Radicchio is an unexpected addition to the salad that lends a unique peppery flavor.  Don’t leave it out!  You will not be disappointed.

Topping off the salad with ripe, crimson pomegranate arils is the kicker.  Since they have a mild crunch it adds a great texture and interest too!
