I created this salad as a nice fresh side to a light summer meal. Easy to change or customize for different tastes. You can plate the salad individually for a nice presentation.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup chopped walnuts
2 large oranges, zested
1 pink grapefruit
1 (5 ounce) bag mixed salad greens
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons pomegranate juice, or more as needed
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet.
  • Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice top and bottom off 1 orange and set on a flat work surface. Cut downwards from the top, following the curve of the fruit, to remove all of the skin and pith. Repeat with remaining orange and grapefruit.
  • Holding 1 orange over a bowl to catch juice, cut both sides of each segment away from the connective membrane and transfer to a separate bowl. Squeeze extra juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with remaining orange and grapefruit.
  • Mix toasted walnuts, salad greens, and feta cheese into the bowl of orange and grapefruit segments.
  • Pour orange and grapefruit juice into a glass measuring cup. Add enough pomegranate juice to reach 1/3 cup. Whisk in 1 teaspoon orange zest, sugar, parsley, and salt. Whisk in oil until dressing is thick.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad.

I thought this salad was just okay. The citrus dressing was a bit too strong for me, and the walnuts were a bit too crunchy. I think I'll try making it again with a different dressing.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good salad.
