Citrus Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

Salads are such an easy vessel to try new flavors and fruits/ veggies. I’ll see something at the grocery store like a pomegranate and decide to shape a salad around it. Today, I had the idea of serving a salad with grapefruit that had a tangy lemon vinaigrette. The grapefruit crossed with lemon and then cut with some feta cheese would be a fantastic side dish for something heavy like a steak or served on its own for a light lunch.

If you prefer kale, you could sub that for the mixed greens that I used. If you don’t have feta, you can easily sub Cotija cheese or even queso Fresca.

I served this alongside a steak and it was the perfect thing to counter balance a heavy steak. It is fresh, light and so yummy. Plus, every element of this salad is incredibly easy to prepare. Give it a try!
