This crunchy and refreshing winter salad is all about balance. The sweetness of juicy clementines and pears counteracts the slight bitterness of the radicchio base. Chopped fennel adds a tangy licorice flavor, while sunflower seeds add a sprinkling of nuttiness to round everything out. The Meyer lemon vinaigrette comes together in a flash and features notes of aromatic ginger that perfectly complement the fresh produce. Serve this colorful salad alongside a hearty sandwich or wrap for a meal that will stick to your stomach and keep you energized during a long day.
