Ingredients

• 3–4 cups mixed greens
• 2 navel oranges
• 2 Cara Cara oranges
• 2 tangerines
• 3 mandarin oranges
• 1 blood orange
• 3–4 cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 2 avocados, cut into wedges

Directions

Prepare the Citrus Vinaigrette by whisking together:

• Juice of 2 lemons
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
