Rainbow Citrus Crunch Salad
This rainbow citrus salad is so crunchy, full of delicious texture and flavor! Blood oranges, red cabbage, spinach, avocado and a sesame vinaigrette bring this all together to create the most vibrant, beautiful bowl.
Ingredients
- ½ head red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 6 ounces spinach and arugula mix
- 2 blood oranges, segmented
- 1 avocado, chopped or sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 seedless cucumber, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup roasted, salted pepitas
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
sesame vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeeze lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Place the sliced cabbage in a large bowl. Drizzle on 1 to 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and toss. Let the cabbage sit for 5 minutes.
- Toss the spinach and arugula into the cabbage. I toss it really well with kitchen tongs as this spreads some of the dressing onto the greens. But don’t add more dressing yet!
- Add in the tomatoes, oranges, cucumbers, avocado and jalapeno. Toss well. Sprinkle in the goat cheese and pepitas. Drizzle on more dressing then add the sesame seeds. Serve!
sesame vinaigrette
- Whisk together the lime juice and honey with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the avocado and toasted sesame oil until emulsified.
