Escarole & Quinoa Salad with Blood Oranges & Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette (GF – 2 servings)

This is a salad that commands attention the moment it hits the table. Hearty, slightly bitter escarole and fluffy quinoa form the perfect canvas for jewel-toned blood oranges that bleed their gorgeous ruby color across the bowl and bring a sweet, tart brightness that stops you mid-bite. The preserved lemon vinaigrette ties it all together with a deep, complex, almost floral tang that you simply cannot get from fresh lemon alone — it is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put it on everything. Substantial enough to stand alone as a meal, stunning enough to anchor any table it lands on. A salad that is genuinely exciting to eat.

Serving Instructions: Best enjoyed at room temperature or chilled. Do not heat. If the dressing has been stored separately, drizzle generously over just before serving and toss well. The quinoa and escarole hold up beautifully making this an excellent next-day salad.
