Tangy grapefruit & winter greens salad

Indulge in the zesty flavors of tangy grapefruit combined with fresh winter greens in this refreshing salad. Perfect for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 Large Pink Grapefruits (reserve peel for zest)
• 1 Pomegranate
• 8 large leaves romaine, kale, arugula or other green
• 1/2 fennel bulb
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1 Avocado (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by removing the seeds from the pomegranate (it's easier than it sounds). Cut a shallow 1/8-inch deep score around the middle of the pomegranate. Gently pull the two halves apart. Further separate each half by gently pulling the sides away from each other. Grab a medium-sized bowl. Hold each pomegranate half loosely in your hand with the seeds facing down over the bowl. Firmly hit the rind with a wooden spoon until all the seeds fall into the bowl. Remove any large pith chunks. Set the bowl aside.
2. Peel the grapefruit while keeping the peel to the side. Use a sharp knife to remove any remaining outer white pith. Over another empty bowl, cut the segments away from the membranes, letting any juice drip into the bowl. Halve each segment on a cutting board and return it to the bowl. Take a small bowl or jar for the dressing - extract juice from the pith and membranes for the dressing. Pour any extra juice from the grapefruit bowl into the dressing bowl. You should have around 1/3 to 1/2 cup grapefruit juice. Grate as much of the peel as you desire into the dressing bowl, typically 1-2 teaspoons.
3. Clean and dry the greens, then slice them into ribbons or tear them into pieces and place them in a large salad bowl. Slice the fennel and add it to the bowl. Add the pomegranate seeds and drained grapefruit segments to the salad bowl.
4. To complete the dressing, combine mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the dressing bowl. Include any juice left from the pomegranate. Whisk vigorously until fully combined. Pour over the salad and mix well.
