Citrus and avocado salad with honey vinaigrette
Indulge in the refreshing blend of tangy citrus, creamy avocado, and sweet honey vinaigrette. Perfect for a light and flavorful meal experience.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey, preferably Tupelo
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 red grapefruits
- 2 navel oranges
- 2 Hass avocados, cut into 1-inch dice
- 60g fresh goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 2 bunches of watercress, thick stems discarded
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
Instructions:
- Combine the honey with lime juice, oil, sour cream, and vinegar in a small bowl. Mix in the poppy seeds and season with salt and pepper.
- Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat, moving the pan around, until they turn golden brown, which should take around 2 minutes.
- Peel the grapefruits and oranges with a sharp knife, ensuring all the bitter white pith is removed. Cut between the membranes over a large bowl to release the sections. Keep the grapefruit and orange juices for later. Dry the citrus sections with paper towels and put them back in the bowl.
- Toss together the avocados, goat cheese, and watercress in the bowl gently. Add the chopped chives, toasted pine nuts, and honey dressing, then toss once more. Serve right away.
