Avocado Citrus Salad

Avocado has been cultivated in Mesoamerica for thousands of years — the Aztecs called it 'ahuacatl.' Sliced against cold winter citrus, it makes one of the prettiest salads on the table.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados, sliced
• 1 orange, segmented
• 1 grapefruit, segmented
• 5 oz arugula
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp citrus juice
• 1 tsp honey
• Salt and pepper
• Toasted pistachios to finish

Method

1. Whisk the shallot, olive oil, citrus juice, honey, salt and pepper into a vinaigrette.
2. Spread the arugula on a platter and arrange the avocado and citrus segments over it.
3. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and scatter with toasted pistachios.
