Rostamian's recipe, for a simple market salad of fennel, avocado, blood orange and spinach with a blood orange vinaigrette, is pretty much a current market grocery list on a plate.

1/2 blood orange juice
2 ounces red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove of garlic
1 - 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil

1/2 of a ripe avocado, preferably Pinkerton, sliced
1 blood orange, cut into slices (or supremes)
about 3 ounces baby spinach (or a large handful)
1/2 large bulb of fennel, thinly sliced
1/2 stalk of celery, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons of toasted Macadamia nuts, crumbled
