Ingredients
Citrus Salad:
- ½ Fennel bulb thinly sliced
- 2 avocados peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 large grapefruit peeled and segmented
- 2 cara cara oranges peeled and segmented
- 1 navel orange or melogold grapefruit or pomelo segmented
- 4-5 ounces arugula or spring mix or baby kale
- 8 ounce burrata or 4-ounce crumbled feta
Dressing:
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons honey or granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons minced sweet onion
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- DRESSING:Add the ingredients for the dressing into a blender and blend until smooth. Alternately, you can also shake the ingredients in a mason jar with a tight fitting lid, but I do like the onions blended up for this recipe. Taste and the vinaigrette and adjust with more salt, pepper, or honey as desired.
- GREENS:Place the greens on a large platter or a wide serving bowl.
- ARRANGE:Arrange the sliced fennel, avocado slices, and the peeled and segmented fruit over the greens.
- DRESS AND SERVE: Drizzle half of the prepared vinaigrette over the salad. If you wanted to use burrata, break the burrata ball into several pieces and scatter it over the dressed salad. And drizzle more dressing over the burrata or feta as desired. You can also add a drizzle of lemon olive oil if you’d like.
