October 1, 2023 • 2.5 min read | | | |  | | | A zesty grapefruit and pecan salad bursting with nutrients | | This colorful citrus salad combines the bright flavors of orange and grapefruit with the crunch of pecans and the chewiness of raisins. It's simple to whip up and packs a serious nutritional punch. | | Start by slicing oranges and grapefruit into bite-size pieces (the recipe calls for navel oranges and ruby red grapefruit, but any varieties will do!). We suggest tossing the fruit in a pinch of sugar or maple syrup, but you could skip that step. | | While the citrus rests, make the tangy vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, minced shallots, mustard, and a splash of citrus juice. Good enough to glug on its own. | | Now to assemble. First, pile peppery arugula leaves or greens on a platter. Then, top with the glistening citrus, pecans, and raisins. | | This salad is also easy to customize. For example, try these ideas: | | | | • | Try dried cranberries or cherries instead of raisins. | | | | • | Add sliced apples, pomegranate seeds, or carrots for crunch. | | | Finally, shower your salad in the zingy dressing and enjoy this vibrant mélange of flavors and textures. | | Beyond amazing flavor, this salad has serious nutritional value. For starters, grapefruit is low in calories and packed with vitamin C, and it provides naringin, a flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. | | Get the full recipe for this bright, nutrient-dense salad. It's the kind of dish that could make the darkest fall and deepest winter feel like summer. | | | | | Box clever | | | | | | |  | | Sistema 10-piece food storage set with salad dressing containers | | Sometimes you make a little too much dressing, and sometimes you need to plan ahead to make batches.
