a few very thin slices of red onion
½c.whole salted cashews

2T.minced fresh parsley

¼c.freshly squeezed Cara Cara orange juice
3T.honey
1-1/2tsp.Dijon mustard
½T.finely chopped red onion
¼tsp.kosher salt
1tsp.poppy seeds
Instructions
FOR THE CITRUS SALAD: Place the arugula on a large plate or small platter. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. If desired, drizzle some of the prepared orange poppy seed dressing over the arugula. Or just serve the dressing on the side. Cut the peels off of the citrus and slice into 1/4″ to 3/8″ thick rounds, removing any seeds. Arrange citrus rounds across the arugula. Tuck in some onion slices. Sprinkle cashews over the top, followed by black pepper and parsley.
FOR THE ORANGE POPPY SEED DRESSING: Place all ingredients except the poppy seeds in a small bowl with tall sides. Blend with an immersion blender until thickened and smooth. Add poppy seeds and stir to combine. Drizzle some of the dressing over the bed of arugula before adding the citrus to the salad, or just serve the dressing in a small bowl alongside the salad, for individual use. I like to add a couple pinches of additional poppy seeds to the top of the dressing right before serving.
