Servings: 6 people (up to)
Ingredients
- 2 navel oranges, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and sliced into round
- 1 small fennel, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 cups spring mix or salad greens of your choice
- 2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
For the dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, (I used our Spanish Hojiblanca EVOO)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- kosher salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Assemble the salad. Add the spring mix (or other salad greens of your choice) to a large bowl. Add the chopped fennel and shallots. Lastly, add the navel orange and grapefruit.
- Make the dressing. To a liquid measuring cup, add the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sumac, dried oregano, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Serve. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Transfer to as serving bowl or platter to serve.
Notes
- Make-ahead tips: Slice all the ingredients a day ahead. Store the citrus in one airtight container, and the shallot and fennel in another. Keep refrigerated. You can also make the dressing a day ahead and refrigerate it in a tightly covered mason jar. When you’re ready to serve the salad, all that is left to do is quickly assemble and dress it.
- Leftovers and storage: This citrus salad is best eaten and finished immediately. But if you foresee leftovers, don’t dress the salad all at once, and instead dress individual servings. Store leftover salad in an airtight container for 2 days. Store the remaining dressing, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days.
