Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup fresh tangerine juice
1 jalapeño
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 avocados, sliced
4 tangerines or clementines, peeled, sliced into rounds
6 cups purslane, arugula, or watercress, thick stems trimmed
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Simmer tangerine juice in a small saucepan until syrupy and reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 5-8 minutes. Let cool.
  • Heat a small heavy skillet over mediumhigh heat. Cook jalapeño, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred all over, about 8 minutes. (Alternatively, roast jalapeño directly over gas flame, turning occasionally.) Let cool; remove stem, skin, and seeds, then finely chop.
  • Whisk shallot, vinegar, reduced tangerine juice, and half of jalapeñ:o in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in vegetable oil, then olive oil. Add remaining jalapeño, if desired. Set vinaigrette aside.
  • Toss avocados, tangerines, purslane, mint, and vinaigrette in a large bowl; top with feta.
  • DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

I'm not a fan of avocado, but I loved this salad! The tangerines and jalapeño really balance out the flavor.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try it again with less jalapeño next time.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The jalapeño vinaigrette was actually quite mild, and the overall flavor of the salad was delicious.

Loved this recipe! The combination of avocado, tangerine, and jalapeño was so refreshing and vibrant. The vinaigrette was also perfect - tangy and spicy, without being overpowering.
