Directions
-
Make the dressing: Juice all the citrus into a bowl (halve the fruit and squeeze all the juice into the same bowl to get 2/3 cup fresh juice). Whisk in the honey, vinegar, finely chopped pistachios, salt, and several twists of black pepper. Taste and adjust with more honey, vinegar, or black pepper, if needed, to make flavor more vibrant. Whisk in both sesame and olive oils in a steady stream until vinaigrette is loosely emulsified.
Make the salad: Add the kale and chard to the bottom of a large serving bowl and top with pomegranate arils, mandarin slices, bell pepper, avocado, blueberries, and sweet potato arranged and separated by ingredient, in a circular pattern, like the colors of a rainbow.
To serve, thoroughly toss the vinaigrette in with the salad, top with pistachios instead of croutons, and serve right away.
Notes: Salad will keep well covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Salad dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
