Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 1 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented
  • 5 ounces fresh arugula
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios
  • For the Honey-Lime Vinaigrette:
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the citrus: Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit over a bowl to catch any juice. Set the fruit aside.
  2. Make the vinaigrette: In a small jar or bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Close the jar and shake well, or whisk until fully combined.
  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, place the arugula. Add the segmented citrus fruits.
  4. Add the avocado and nuts: Gently arrange the avocado slices over the greens and citrus. Sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the top.
  5. Dress and serve: Drizzle the honey-lime vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients lightly.

Notes

  • To toast pistachios, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often until fragrant. Let them cool before using.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the honey to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
  • This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a light dinner.
