1 blood orange see note 4
1 orange see note 4

1 small fennel bulb top removed, halved, and sliced thinly (reserve the fennel fronds for the salad as desired)

Instructions

Prep the citrus. Place the citrus on a cutting board and cut off the top and bottom of each. Stand upright and remove the peel from the sides by cutting from top to the bottom, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Turn the peeled citrus on its side and slice into rounds. Halve the rounds if they're large.
1 blood orange, 1 ruby red grapefruit, 1 orange
Place the frisée on a large platter. Arrange the citrus and fennel over the top of the frisée, then drizzle generously with the vinaigrette. Top with the avocado and pistachios, then drizzle with additional vinaigrette and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: Prep the dressing, frisée, citrus and fennel in advance and store separately to make this recipe even faster. Once assembled, the salad is best enjoyed the day that it's made.
This salad serves 6-8, depending on the amount of frisée you'll have.
Sub the frisée with your favorite lettuce. Escarole, endive, butter lettuce and arugula are all great choices.
Use any variety of citrus for this salad. Cara Cara oranges, mandarins, clementines, kumquats and pomelo work as well!
