Add the baby arugula to the bowl with the radicchio.
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into segments, removing any seeds. Add the orange segments to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the citrus dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
Coarsely chop the pistachios and finely chop the parsley.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and parsley over the salad before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing blend of flavors and textures.
