Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Citrus (20 minutes): Using a sharp knife, carefully remove all the peel and white pith from the oranges, grapefruit, and clementines. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, segment each fruit by cutting along the membranes to release the segments. Aim for approximately 2 cups of segmented fruit. Squeeze the remaining membranes to extract any remaining juice and reserve 3 tablespoons for the dressing.

02

Step

Make the Citrus Vinaigrette (5 minutes): In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the reserved 3 tablespoons of citrus juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing is well emulsified.

03

Step

Assemble the Salad (10 minutes): On a large serving platter or in a large bowl, arrange the mixed greens and sliced Swiss chard as a base. Artistically arrange the citrus segments, thinly sliced red onion, and diced avocado over the greens. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped cashews over the salad.

04

Step

Dress and Serve (2 minutes): Just before serving, drizzle the citrus vinaigrette evenly over the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits based on availability and preference. Blood oranges, tangerines, or even a pomelo would be delicious additions.
For a vegan version, substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss the diced avocado with a little lemon or lime juice.
The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake well before using.
