Citrus Avocado Spinach Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the Citrus Vinaigrette in a jar or a tight-sealing plastic container. Shake to blend.
• Combine the spinach, orange segments, almonds, red onion, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss with the Citrus Vinaigrette. Serve on individual plates, topped with 1 or 2 Parmesan Frico.
• Note
• To cut orange segments, first use a small sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Stand the orange on one of the cut ends and make long, straight cuts to slice away all of the peel and white pith. Hold the peeled orange in your palm and cut on each side of the membranes to free the segments.

Steps:

• Place the lettuce and spinach (or radicchio) in a large salad bowl. Holding the grapefruit over a separate bowl to catch the juice (save for the vinaigrette), remove the membrane from each section. Add the grapefruit, avocado, and nuts to the greens. Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a jar with a tight lid, and shake vigorously until mixed. Drizzle a little vinaigrette over the salad, toss to coat lightly, and serve immediately.
