Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole oranges
- 1 whole grapefruit
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 whole lime
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit, removing all the pith. Place the segments in a large salad bowl.
Juice the lemon and lime into a small bowl. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the juice for the dressing.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the reserved lemon and lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Rinse and pat dry the salad greens. Add them to the salad bowl with the citrus segments.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and add to the salad.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, making sure the dressing coats everything evenly.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad for a pop of freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately as a delicious and refreshing side dish or light main course.
