Instructions

Prepare the Salad
Score the pomegranate, break it apart so that the seeds aren't damaged, and remove the seeds. Here is a helpful video about removing pomegranate seeds. Halve the avocado, scoop out the meat, and then slice thinly. Skin and peel the orange sections and then cut them in half.

Make the Dressing
Mix cider vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Add salt and pepper. Whisk ingredients together. Then add chopped basil. Mix ingredients in a blender or food processor for just 10-15 seconds. It's okay to have a some small leaf pieces in the dressing.

Plate the Salad
On a small plate place the arugula and spinach mixture. Then place avocado, pomegranate seeds, and oranges on the salad. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the salad and then drizzle the dressing on the top.
