This salad it very customizable as long as there is some citrus on it."

"Begin by prepping the citrus. Cut the ends off the oranges, then cut off the rind and pith, working all the way around. Then slice into rounds. For the grapefruit, cut off the ends and cut around the fruit, removing the rind and pith. Then carefully separate the grapefruit segments and set them aside. Cut the avocado in half, and slice. On a large serving platter, add the baby arugula. Top with the orange slices, then the grapefruit segments, and finally the avocado slices."

Serves 4 and prepares in about 10 minutes. The salad layers 5 oz. baby arugula with sliced oranges, segmented ruby grapefruit, and sliced ripe avocado. A 4 oz. ball of burrata is torn over the top, then the salad is finished with 1/2 cup pomegranate arils, thinly sliced basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Preparation involves trimming and slicing citrus into rounds and segments, slicing avocado, and arranging components on a large serving platter. Dairy-free substitutions include extra avocado in place of burrata and fresh mozzarella can replace burrata when unavailable. Ingredients can be prepped ahead and stored separately for quick assembly.
