Holiday Recipe-Citrus Avacado Salad

[Guest guest]

I got this recipe from Epicurious a couple weeks ago and it was a big hit at a

dinner party we hosted.

 

SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTMAS SALAD

 

2 tablespoons lemon juice (preferably fresh)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

7 tablespoons olive oil

1 jalapeno chili, seeded and minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled

 

4 navel oranges

2 pink grapefruit

3 avacadoes, peeled, pitted, diced

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Seeds of one pomegranate (optional, but they're really nice)

1 small red onion, thinly sliced, rings separated

 

Combine lemon juice and mustard in small bowl. Whisk in oil. Mix in chili

and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Cut all peel and white pith from

oranges and grapefruit. Slice oranges and grapefruit into rounds. Place rounds

in bowl. Add diced avacado. Top with nuts, pomegranate seeds and onions.

Drizzle dressing over.
