Citrus Salad

So this was for dinner tonight! So light and refreshing - what a great way to end a warm day. I hope you love it as much as my sister and I do. It's a little bit crunchy, with a little bit tangy mixed with a little bit creamy and a touch of spicy. Enjoy!!


Serves 4
3 TBSP olive oil
1 green onion
1 TBSP honey
1/4 tsp salt

2 grapefruit, sectioned
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
5 oz bag of mixed salad greens (we used spinach)
1 yellow pepper
1 Avocado
1/8 C toasted almonds
2 tomatoes
Dressing:
Section the grapefruit as shown in picture. When you section the grapefruit do it over a bowl so that you can catch the juice. Use 1/4 cup of the juice and mixed in a small container with the oil, green onion (cut the up in small bits), honey and 1/4 tsp salt. Shake well and refrigerate until ready to pour over salad.

Layer salad greens with chopped yellow pepper, sliced avocado, chopped tomato, toasted almonds, grapefruit sections and sprinkle on crushed red pepper. Top with dressing (you don't need a lot b/c as your cut the grapefruit sections it will release additional juices). Yum!
