Preparation:

Step 1
• Glazed nuts:
  
  In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, toast the pistachios and hazelnuts until fragrant, 4–5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of water and stir to coat. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool for 12–15 minutes.
Step 2
• Refueling:
  
  Combine olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt, and pepper in a jar. Close the lid and shake to combine. Set aside.
Step 3
• Salad:
  
  Arrange the arugula, kale, and spinach on a large round platter, leaving a space in the center (it should look like a holiday wreath). Arrange the radicchio slices on top of the greens. Add the mandarin orange slices on top of the greens. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, cranberries, blueberries, and glazed nuts.
Step 4
• Finally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, like snow. Shake the dressing again and pour it into a serving bowl. Place the bowl in the center of the dish and serve.
