CITRUS SPINACH SALAD WITH FETA AND CRANBERRY DRESSING
Summer citrus salads are always a must in our Texas heat. This spinach and grapefruit salad is a quick and easy fix that can be whipped up easily with most items you already keep in your pantry/kitchen. I can easily have this as a meal in itself but it works great as a side salad with a cool cucumber/alfalfa/tzatziki 1/2 sandwich. The options are endless and yours to create. Add some sliced strawberries for sweetness and bright, festive color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet.
- Toast in the preheated oven until golden and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Zest orange and reserve. Slice the tops and bottoms of grapefruit and cut along the curves, top-down, to remove skins and piths. Repeat with orange. Cut fruits into segments on a plate or shallow bowl, cutting from connective membranes and catching any extra juices (save juices for dressing). Squeeze segments lightly for extra juice.
- Combine toasted walnuts, spinach, feta cheese, and grapefruit and orange slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour grapefruit and orange juices into a measuring cup and add enough cranberry juice to reach 1/3 cup. Whisk in olive oil, turbinado sugar, 1 teaspoon reserved orange zest, parsley, and kosher salt until dressing is thickened. Drizzle over salad. Garnish with any remaining orange zest.

[email protected]This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of oranges. I'll try it again with a more tart variety next time.
