Ingredients
  

  • cup fresh orange juice from about one orange
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 small shallot
  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
  • cup chopped walnuts
  • 5 oz baby arugula
  • 5 oz mixed greens

Instructions
 

  • Place the orange juice, orange zest, shallot, olive oil, vinegar, dijon mustard, and kosher salt in a blender. Blend on high until the mixture looks creamy and the shallot is incorporated, about 20 seconds.
  • Place the walnuts in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the walnuts are fragrant and toasted, about 3–4 minutes. Watch carefully so that they do not burn.
  • Place the arugula and mixed greens in a large bowl. Pour half of the dressing over the top and toss gently with salad tongs or clean hands. Taste and add more dressing if desired.
  • Transfer the greens to a large platter. Top with the walnuts and pomegranate arils. Season lightly with additional kosher salt, and serve immediately.
