Number Of Ingredients 9

1 blood or Valencia orange, sliced 1/8" thick, seeds removed
1 Meyer or regular lemon, sliced 1/8" thick, seeds removed
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh Meyer or regular lemon juice
1 bunch watercress or arugula, thick stems trimmed
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 avocado, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Toss orange and lemon slices with 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast citrus, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and starting to caramelize, 10-15 minutes. This makes the citrus flavor more complex. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine onion and lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit 5 minutes (onion will soften a bit and get slightly sweeter and less harsh).
  • Add roasted citrus to bowl with onion along with arugula and mint. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons oil over; season with salt and pepper and toss everything to combine and coat.
  • Add avocado and very gently toss until lightly dressed (you don't want to crush the avocado).

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar in the dressing.

This salad is a bit too heavy on the dressing for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less dressing next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I also added some crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.

Not bad! The salad was easy to make and the ingredients were fresh. However, I found the dressing to be a bit too tart for my taste.
