Ingredients

• 1 head Radicchio
• 2 cups Arugula
• 1 medium Orange
• 1 medium Grapefruit
• 1 large Avocado
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the radicchio. Remove any wilted outer leaves, cut the head in half, and then into quarters. Slice each quarter into thin strips.

Step 2

Place the sliced radicchio in a large salad bowl along with the arugula.

Step 3

Peel the orange and grapefruit. Carefully segment them, removing any seeds and pith. Save any juice that collects in the process for the dressing.

Step 4

Add the citrus segments to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut it into thin slices and add to the salad.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and any saved citrus juices to form the dressing.

Step 7

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then drizzle it over the salad ingredients.

Step 8

Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or clean hands, ensuring even distribution of the dressing.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
