Avocado Citrus Salad

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 cups salad greens
• 2 medium grapefruit

  sectioned
• 3 navel oranges

  sectioned
• 1 ripe avocado

  chopped
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon red onion

  finely chopped
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

• 1 In a small mason jar add olive oil, sugar, vinegar, red onion, poppy seed, dry
  mustard, and salt. Seal with a lid and shake until well combined.
• 2 Start by toasting the almonds. I usually buy raw sliced almonds and roast them.
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the almonds in a single layer
  and roast in 350º F oven for 3-4 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as you do
  not want them to burn! Nuts can burn easily and then they taste bitter and are
  unusable.
• 3 Segment the orange and grapefruit to remove the white pith and chewy membrane.
• 4 Wash greens and remove water using a salad spinner. Tear into bite-sized pieces
  and place in a large serving bowl.
• 5 Peel and chop the avocado into chunks. I do this right before serving so the
  avocado does not brown.
• 6 Toss all the ingredients together with the poppy seed dressing. Sprinkle with
  the toasted almonds.
