Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed baby greens
• 2 cups Arugula
• 2 pieces Oranges (large)
• 1 piece Grapefruit (large)
• 1 piece Avocado
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Pistachios, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the mixed baby greens and arugula. Set them aside in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Peel the oranges and grapefruit, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Using a sharp knife, cut the citrus into segments by slicing between the membranes. Set the citrus segments aside and catch any juice in a separate small bowl.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin wedges. Add the avocado slices to the salad bowl with the greens.

Step 4

Chop or tear the fresh mint and basil leaves into smaller pieces. Sprinkle them over the greens in the bowl.

Step 5

In a separate small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and the reserved citrus juice.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly, taking care not to crush the avocado slices.

Step 7

Scatter the citrus segments, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pistachios over the top of the salad as garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately to preserve the freshness and vibrant flavors of the salad.
