Spring is starting to appear everywhere I turn, from the tulips popping up on the side walks of Portland, to the produce section of my local grocery store. I love me some good comfort food, especially during cold winters, but at some point you need a break from the heaviness. There is something so refreshing about a meal that only needs a few ingredients. I tend to think that if produce grows during the same season, they probably taste delicious if you eat them together! Today I prepared a super bright and fresh salad for lunch. With every bite, I could feel me shaking away the winter blues. Here’s what you need to put together this colorful citrus salad. Hello Spring!

Ingredients :

1 Pink Grapefruit
1 Naval Orange
1 Haas Avocado
1 Fennel Bulb
3-5 Spring Onions

Simple Lemon Vinaigrette :

1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp Honey
Pinch of Salt + Pepper

*Coat spring onions with evoo, salt and pepper. Grill or broil until slightly tender and charred.
