Jon-Paul’s Citrus Salad with Fennel and Pistachios

I know I just gave you Jon-Paul’s Hutchins background on my 6-26-09 post. However, I wanted to be sure to post this salad that is absolutely wonderful. Of course, I’m partial to pistachios. Plus, this is easy and delicious.

Citrus Salad with Fennel and Pistachios

1 fennel bulb thinly shaved
2 Belgian endives thinly shaved
2 cups arugula washed
20 nicoise olives, pitted
20 pistachios

1 orange peeled and cut into 1/8 inch rounds
1 grapefruit peeled and cut into segments

Dressing
1/2 cup salad oil
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Combine all and season with salt and pepper

To assemble:
Arrange the citrus on 4 plates.
Combine remaining ingredients with enough dressing to moisten. Divide on the 4 plates.

Serves 4
