Chopped Winter Salad With Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

Chopped Winter Salad With Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

This crunchy and refreshing winter salad is all about balance. The sweetness of juicy clementines and pears counteracts the slight bitterness of the radicchio base. Chopped fennel adds a tangy licorice flavor, while sunflower seeds add a sprinkling of nuttiness to round everything out. The Meyer lemon vinaigrette comes together in a flash and features notes of aromatic ginger that perfectly complement the fresh produce. Serve this colorful salad alongside a hearty sandwich or wrap for a meal that will stick to your stomach and keep you energized during a long day.
