Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Grapefruit
- 1 large Orange
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Shelled pistachios
Instructions
Slice off the top and bottom of the grapefruit and orange, then carefully peel away the rind and white pith with a sharp knife.
Segment the grapefruit and orange by cutting between the membranes to release the fruit wedges. Collect any juice in a bowl to use for the dressing, if desired.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it thinly and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. If available, whisk in 1 teaspoon of the reserved citrus juice for added flavor.
On a serving platter or individual plates, spread the mixed salad greens evenly.
Arrange the grapefruit, orange segments, and avocado slices on top of the greens.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle with pistachios for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, vibrant salad!
