Cook's Notes

Change It Up
Brighten the salad by adding blood-orange segments and swapping toasted pecans for the pumpkin seeds; toss the salad with shaved fennel and celery root for heartiness.

Taste and appearance are good, although not as easy to prepare as the video suggests.

Perhaps there is an easier way to do this but the shear time involved in separating leaves was not worth it. The dish tasted good although I think it was better without the pumpkin seeds. It certainly looks pretty too. However the amount of time and effort it took was truly absurd.
