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)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the mixed baby greens. Place them in a large serving bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin wedges. Set the slices aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Layer the citrus segments and avocado slices over the mixed baby greens in the serving bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette evenly over the salad. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to break the avocado slices.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle pistachios on top for added crunch and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, nutrient-packed salad.
