step-by-step
instructions
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the dressing

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the radishes into rounds. Peel the orange; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the lemon crosswise; remove the seeds. In a large bowl, combine the cilantro sauce, honey (kneading the packet before opening), and the juice of 1 lemon half (you will have extra).

2 Toast the pepitas

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pepitas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 3 minutes, or until toasted (be careful, as the pepitas may pop as they toast). Turn off the heat.

3 Make the salad & serve your dish

To the bowl of dressing, add the spinach, arugula, sliced radishes, and sliced orange; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the salad topped with the toasted pepitas and cheese. Enjoy!
