Ingredients:
For the Dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 oranges
  • 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted (instructions below)
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Spread the hazelnuts onto a baking sheet. Toast for about 10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.

  4. In a salad bowl, toss together the arugula with the dressing (you may have some dressing left over, pour a little and then taste to see if you need to add more).
  5. Divide the arugula among 4 plates, top each with the citrus segments, toasted hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds, and parmesan cheese.
