Ingredients

• 2 large Ruby red grapefruit

• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.

Step 4

Toast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, fennel slices, grapefruit segments, avocado slices, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pistachios.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant and refreshing winter salad.
