    California citrus salad is winter sunshine on a plate — segments of blood orange, navel orange, and grapefruit over greens, with avocado, red onion, and a citrus-honey vinaigrette. It’s bright, refreshing, and beautiful.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Supreme the oranges and grapefruit, collecting the juice.
    2. Whisk the oil, honey, orange juice, mustard, salt, and pepper into a vinaigrette.
    3. Toss the greens with half the vinaigrette.
    4. Arrange the citrus, avocado, and red onion over the greens.
    5. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and top with almonds.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Supreme the citrus — cut away the peel and slice between the membranes — for neat, juicy segments. Dress the greens lightly so the citrus shines.
