Romaine Salad with Orange & Radish

Ingredients

• 2 small heads romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
• 3 large navel oranges, divided
• 1 bunch radishes
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)

Instructions

1. Place romaine in a large salad bowl. Suprême 2 oranges: Cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the fruit with a large sharp knife. Place on a cutting board. Remove the peel and white pith below, following the curve of the fruit as you go. Working over a bowl, switch to a small sharp knife and cut each segment from the surrounding membranes. Add the orange segments to the salad bowl. Wash radishes; set aside 3 or 4 larger radishes. Slice the remaining radishes into rounds and add to the salad bowl.
2. Cut the remaining orange in half and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; whisk until combined. Grate the reserved radishes over the salad and add pomegranate arils. Top with the dressing and toss to coat well.
