Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the grapefruit juice, orange juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Emulsify the Dressing: Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the dressing is well emulsified and slightly thickened. (30 seconds)

03

Step
2 mins

Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, gently combine the arugula, sliced pear, and thinly sliced red bell pepper. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Dress and Serve: Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad, tossing gently to ensure each leaf is lightly coated. Serve immediately to enjoy the arugula at its freshest. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of texture and flavor, consider adding toasted walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds just before serving.
Adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette by adding a touch of honey or maple syrup if desired.
If you don't have fresh grapefruit or oranges, you can substitute with high-quality store-bought juice, but fresh is always best!
Feel free to experiment with other fruits like mandarin oranges or pomegranate seeds for a seasonal twist.
