Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ruby red grapefruit
- 4 cups Mixed greens
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Fennel bulb
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 0.25 cup Pistachios
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the grapefruit and carefully remove the segments, ensuring no white pith remains. Set the segments aside and squeeze any remaining juice into a small bowl to reserve for the dressing.
Slice the fennel bulb thinly using a sharp knife or mandolin. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.
Toast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon of the reserved grapefruit juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, fennel slices, grapefruit segments, avocado slices, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pistachios.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant and refreshing winter salad.
