Fresh Citrus Salad with lemon vinaigrette is a bright, tangy side dish that is equally unique and delicious! It has a variety of beautifully sliced citrus fruits layered with avocado and sweet roasted beets, garnished with fresh basil and crunchy pine nuts.
The in-season citrus featured in my Citrus Salad recipe is one of my favorite parts of the winter season. It has a bright, fresh flavor, and I think it looks simply stunning. The colors just pop and look so appetizing. This salad sparkles on a holiday table.
It’s easy to make this citrus salad and assemble it when ready to serve. Simply mix the dressing and slice the grapefruit, orange, blood orange, tangerine, and beet, and then store them each separately in the fridge. When ready to serve, slice the avocado, arrange the salad on the platter, and then drizzle the dressing.
Ingredients:
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 orange
- 1 blood orange
- 1 tangerine, optional
