Orange and Pomegranate Salad

Any seasonal citrus works well in this salad. Victoria de la Maza

Any kind of citrus fruits, such as navel or blood oranges, tangerines, or even grapefruit, work well in this wintry salad. Crumbles of blue cheese—or goat or feta cheese, if you prefer—add creaminess and some savory funk.

Serves 6

• 2 heads baby romaine lettuce
• 2 oranges, peeled and sliced into rounds (blood orange and navel)
• 2 mandarins, peeled and separated into segments
• 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Trim the bottom of the romaine lettuce heads and separate the leaves, but leave them whole. Wash, dry, and arrange them on a shallow platter.
