Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Oranges
- 2 pieces Grapefruit
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 5 cups Mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the oranges and grapefruits, removing all the white pith. Slice the fruit into even rounds and set aside on a plate.
Place the mixed greens in a large serving bowl.
Gently scatter the citrus slices over the mixed greens to create an even layer, alternating between the oranges and grapefruits for a colorful presentation.
Add the fresh mint leaves on top of the salad, tearing any large leaves into smaller pieces if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, ground cumin, lime zest, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the vinaigrette is well combined and emulsified.
Drizzle the cumin vinaigrette evenly over the salad just before serving.
Toss gently to combine all the ingredients or serve as is for a layered presentation.
