Ingredients
Dressing
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons coconut milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons poppyseeds
Pinch of sugar
Pinch of dry mustard
Salad
4 pieces assorted citrus fruit (such as grapefruit, Cara Cara oranges and clementine), peeled and segmented (see note)
2 ripe, fresh California Avocados—pitted, peeled and cubed
3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves torn
2 tablespoons pistachios, coarsely chopped
Flaky salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
1. Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, poppyseeds, sugar and dry mustard and whisk until combined.
2. Assemble the Salad: On a serving platter, arrange the citrus segments and slices and California Avocado. Garnish with the mint, pistachio and flaky salt. Drizzle with the dressing, followed by a drizzle of olive oil.
Note: Use any type of sweet citrus you can get your hands on—the more variety, the better. Segment the medium-large ones (like grapefruit and Cara Cara oranges), and slice the small ones (like clementine) into rounds.
