Orange Pistachio Frisée Salad
Orange Pistachio Frisée Salad

A veritable symphony of flavors, – sweet, sour, citrusy, tangy, bitter, nutty, and salty – this simple orange salad is a prelude to my Mediterranean inspired dinner. You will revel in the simplicity of this refreshing alternative to plain green salad. Orange slices arranged on a bed of slightly bitter curly frisée topped with creamy, tangy goat cheese and slivered pistachios. This summery salad is so easy. All you need is to drizzle my artSAVOR 75 Champagne vinaigrette for the crowning crescendo to this savory concerto.

Naturally, I brought this combination together my own signature flavors in a heavenly artSAVOR 75 vinaigrette.

Finally venturing out from quarantine to the Laguna Beach Farmers Market, I was like a kid in a candy store. Even though the market had fewer vendors sadly, I caught sight of this beautiful pile of bright and lovely brussels sprouts. They were so beautiful that I immediately envisioned a sweet, savory and tangy salad that would capitalize on their raw goodness. Normally I only prepare them in the fall and winter, but who says you can’t have a brussels sprouts salad in summer?
