This was so very very easy and a great fall salad. I was honestly surprised how much I liked it because of the simplicity but it was a perfect Monday night Main Meal salad after a weekend of eating unhealthy. It feel cleansing and filled me up! I found the original on Pinterest and added a few things to it. Pomegranates are in season so I thought that would add a nice crunch. Also, the original calls for a variety of different oranges, and my grocery store is not well-stocked with orange varieties. If you can find fun ones like blood oranges, and cara cara and Minneola, by all means - mix it up. I could only find Navel and Mandarin in the fresh section. I tried adding a little grapefruit too and it was very tart, I liked it, but my husband said he would pass on that the next time. So adjust as you wish to what you can find. Below is the recipe for how I made the salad pictured. It makes 2 main dishes and again my magic bullet came in handy for the dressing. Citrus Pomegranate Fennel Salad
- 2 navel oranges, separated into slices
- 4 mandarin orange, separated into slices
- 1/2 of one grapefruit, separated into slices, then cut slices in half
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 one fennel bulb, very thinly sliced
- fennel fronds
- 1 avocado sliced
- 4 cups mixed salad greens, chopped up a little
- Split up all the salad ingredients between two bowls, starting with the greens. then layering oranges, fennel, pomegranate seeds.
- Blend the dressing in a blender (I use my Magic bullet, perfect size)- and top the salad with the dressing. It's that easy.
**Makes 2 main dish salads
***2 on Bryce's dish scale, you eat in the bowls you make it in. Cutting board, knife and magic bullet.
