Recipe Introduction


A warm weather fruit, citrus pairs well with other produce of the same ilk, such as the jicama and avocado in this recipe. To quickly mix of the vinaigrette, shake the ingredients in a screw top jar. The jar makes a handy container for storing extra vinaigrette, too.




List of Ingredients




3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 cups torn mixed salad greens
2 oranges, peeled, sectioned and seeded
1 grapefruit, peeled, sectioned and seeded
11/2 cups peeled, thinly sliced (into strips) jicama
1 avocado, halved lengthwise, pitted and sliced horizontally
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved and sliced


Recipe



In a small bowl or a screw top jar, combine the orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, water, salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes.

Place 1/3 cup of the citrus vinaigrette in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette for another use. Add the mixed greens, orange and grapefruit sections, jicama, avocado and onion rings and toss gently to coat with the dressing.
