How to make Winter Citrus Salad

Ingredients

This recipe serves: 4 and can be prepared in 10 minutes

• 5 oz. baby arugula
• 3 oranges (any variety – navel, Cara Cara, blood orange), sliced
• 1 large ruby grapefruit, segmented
• 1 ripe avocado
• 4 oz. burrata torn
• 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
• Basil, thinly sliced
• Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Directions

1. Begin by prepping the citrus. Cut the ends off the oranges, then cut off the rind and pith, working all the way around. Then slice into rounds.
2. For the grapefruit, cut off the ends and cut around the fruit, removing the rind and pith. Then carefully separate the grapefruit segments and set them aside.
3. Cut the avocado in half, and slice.
4. On a large serving platter, add the baby arugula. Top with the orange slices, then the grapefruit segments, and finally the avocado slices.
5. Carefully tear a ball of burrata and scatter it over the top.
6. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salad, then sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds and finish with fresh basil.
7. Serve immediately.

Notes:

• Dairy free? Substitute the burrata with more avocado.
• If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella works well.
• If you want to prep this salad ahead of time for your next dinner party, it’s so easy to do! You essentially get all of the ingredients ready to go the day before and store them separately in the refrigerator until you’re ready. Then, on the day, it takes literal minutes to assemble this salad. Perfect for a potluck!
