🍊 Citrus Avocado Spring Salad
Ingredients:
- Mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or butter lettuce work beautifully)
- 1–2 ripe avocados, sliced 🥑
- 1 orange + 1 grapefruit, peeled and sliced into rounds or segments 🍊🍋
- ¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional but fab)
- ¼ cup toasted pistachios or almonds 🌰
- Fresh mint or basil for garnish (hello, spring vibes)
Citrus Honey Vinaigrette:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh orange or lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt & pepper to taste
Shake it up in a jar or whisk until emulsified. 💃
Instructions:
- Toss greens lightly with a bit of the vinaigrette.
- Layer on the beauty:
Arrange citrus rounds, avocado slices, red onion, and cheese on top. - Sprinkle with nuts and herbs, then drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.
- Finish with cracked pepper and a few flakes of sea salt (especially if skipping cheese).
Serving Vibe:
Plate it like art. Serve with a chilled glass of rosé or sparkling water. Feels like a picnic in a meadow or brunch on a terrace. 🌼🥂
