California Avocado Citrus Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, sugar and salt. Add avocados. In a large salad bowl, toss remaining ingredients. Pour the dressing over salad and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Wash the citrus well, then pat dry with paper towels. Use a microplane to finely grate the zest of 1 orange into a medium bowl, avoiding the bitter white pith.
• Set the orange on a cutting board and use a sharp paring knife to cut off the top and bottom so the flesh is exposed and the fruit can sit upright. Use the knife to remove the rind from around the fruit, following the contours of the fruit and cutting carefully to remove all of the pith, but leaving as much flesh intact as possible. Holding the fruit in your non-dominant hand over a liquid measuring cup, use the knife to cut between the membranes to release the segments and transfer to a separate medium bowl. Let the juice drip into the measuring cup below as you cut. Once all of the segments have been released, squeeze the remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the remaining citrus. Pour ¼ cup of the citrus juice into the bowl with the zest. Reserve the rest of the juice for another use.
• Very thinly slice the shallot crosswise using a mandoline or very sharp knife. Add the shallot to the bowl with the zest and juice and let sit for 10 minutes to mellow the sharp flavor of the shallot.
• Add the olive oil to the bowl with the citrus juice and shallot and whisk to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Halve the avocado lengthwise. Remove the pit. Thinly slice the flesh inside the peel lengthwise, then in half crosswise.
• Spread the arugula on a serving platter and season with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to release the avocado slices into the bowl with the arugula, then add the citrus segments. Spoon the dressing over the salad and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove all of the peel and pith from the citrus fruit. To section each fruit, cut between the membrane and flesh of each fruit and remove the flesh. You should have 2 cups fruit. After sectioning, squeeze the leftover membranes over a bowl to reserve the juice.
• Combine 3 tablespoon of reserved fruit juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a screw top jar. Close and shake vigorously to combine.
• Arrange mixed greens, Swiss chard, orange, grapefruit, and clementine sections, red onion, avocado, and cashews on a large serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.
