Winter Citrus Salad

Let’s take a moment for this beautiful, wintery salad! It’s different every year, based on whatever hasn’t been picked over by the Thanksgiving shoppers. The non-negotiable ingredients are the grapefruit and fennel. Hidden under all those toppings are some crispy romaine (or gem lettuce if you’re feeling fancy) dressed in a whole-grain mustard and honey vinaigrette. More of a list of ingredients that a recipe. But such a pretty addition to any holiday table spread!

Salad:

  • Romaine or gem lettuce

  • Fennel, including the fronds

  • Red grapefruit

  • Pomegranate arils

  • Shaved parmesan cheese

  • Green olives

  • Avocado

  • Figs

  • Prosciutto could be fun here, but messes with an otherwise Vegetarian dish.

Dressing:

  • Whole grain mustard

  • Honey

  • Olive oil

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • Fresh nutmeg (optional)


UPDATE: I found the original Bon Appetit recipe that this salad is based on!
