Friday, September 12th, 2008 @ 7:28am

To remove the citrus fruits’ bitter white pith for this fresh recipe, cut the peel away with a sharp knife. This recipe makes more dressing than you’ll need; you can refrigerate the extra for up to 5 days.
Prep: 18 minutes Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 medium halved peeled avocado, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 peeled pink grapefruit, cut into sections
- 1 peeled navel orange, cut into sections
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped
- 4 minced green onions
- 4 cups field greens
Directions:
- Combine first 4 ingredients (through honey) in a food processor or blender, or use a handheld immersion blender, and process for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine the remaining ingredients (except the greens) in a large, nonreactive bowl (glass, stainless steel, or glazed ceramic). Toss with half of the dressing to moisten. Serve over field greens.
