This Poppyseed Citrus Salad is a refreshing and zesty combination of mixed greens, sweet oranges, tangy grapefruit, and the earthy flavor of thyme. The citrus vinaigrette with a hint of poppyseeds ties everything together for a delightful burst of flavors.
Ingredients: 4 cups mixed salad greens. 2 oranges, peeled and segmented. 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented. 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup toasted almonds. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves. 2 tablespoons poppyseeds. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, orange segments, grapefruit segments, and sliced red onion. In a small skillet, toast the almonds over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool. Sprinkle the toasted almonds, fresh thyme leaves, and poppyseeds over the salad greens. In a separate bowl, prepare the citrus vinaigrette by whisking together the juice of one orange, the juice of half a grapefruit, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
