Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and lettuce)
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 whole Grapefruit
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water and allow them to dry completely using a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel.
Peel the orange and grapefruit, then segment both fruits by carefully cutting along the membranes. Remove any seeds.
Slice the lemon and lime in half, and squeeze out all the juice from each into a small bowl. Remove any seeds from the juice.
In a separate container, whisk together the citrus juice (from the lemon and lime), olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Alternatively, you can pour all the ingredients into a small spray bottle and shake well to combine, creating the citrus dressing spray.
Arrange the mixed greens on a large serving platter or individual plates. Scatter the orange and grapefruit segments evenly over the greens.
Lightly spray or drizzle the citrus dressing over the salad to coat it evenly. Shake the spray bottle before each use to keep the dressing emulsified.
Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing and tangy citrus salad!
