Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed baby greens
- 1 large Orange
- 1 large Grapefruit
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed baby greens. Place them in a large serving bowl.
Peel the orange and grapefruit. Using a sharp knife, carefully segment the citrus by cutting away the membrane, leaving only the flesh. Work over a bowl to catch the juices, and set the segments aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice for the dressing.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin wedges. Set the slices aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the citrus vinaigrette.
Layer the citrus segments and avocado slices over the mixed baby greens in the serving bowl.
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette evenly over the salad. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to break the avocado slices.
If desired, sprinkle pistachios on top for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, nutrient-packed salad.
