This one makes me feel like I’m eating at a restaurant. It’s more formal than my normal salads, which makes it great for dinner parties. I love fresh, crunchy salads with some citrus. The fennel pairs really nicely with Cara Cara oranges, but substitute whatever citrus you have on hand. Grapefruit makes the perfect alternative. Like Iggy Azalea, I sing “I’m so fancy” in my head every time I make this.

Make the lemon vinaigrette

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, mustard, and salt and freshly cracked black pepper, until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Assemble the salad

2. In a large bowl, combine the radicchio, fennel, and red onion with half the dressing. Massage lightly until the radicchio softens slightly. Add the avocado, oranges, sunflower seeds, and the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
