Fall Salad With Buttermilk Dressing

• Croutons:
• 4 ounces Hawaiian sweet bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• Cooking spray
• Dressing:
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, divided
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Salad:
• 4 cups torn Boston lettuce
• 3 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb (about 1 large bulb)
• 2 cups torn radicchio
• 1 1/2 cups orange sections (about 3 oranges)
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fennel fronds (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. To prepare croutons, place the bread cubes on a baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Bake at 350u0b0 for 12 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp, stirring once. Cool completely.
3. To prepare dressing, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add shallots, cumin, and coriander; saute 3 minutes or until shallots are tender. Stir in 2 tablespoons orange juice and vinegar; cook 2 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
4. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice, buttermilk, and next 5 ingredients (through pepper), stirring with a whisk. Stir in shallot mixture.
5. To prepare salad, combine lettuce, fennel bulb, and radicchio in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss gently to combine. Arrange about 1 1/4 cups salad over each of 8 salad plates; top evenly with orange sections and onion. Sprinkle evenly with croutons and fennel fronds, if desired.
