  • 1 large avocado peeled, pitted, and sliced

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds


Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. To make a wreath salad, place a ramekin for the vinaigrette in the center of a platter.

  2. Whisk vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl.  

  3. Place greens and avocado slices in a bowl. Drizzle with half of the dressing and then lightly toss the salad.*

  4. Arrange the greens on the platter around the ramekin. 

  5. Top salad with pomegranate seeds and almonds.

  6. Pour the remaining dressing into the ramekin in the center of the platter.

  7. Serve immediately.

*if you’d rather not toss the salad before assembling the dish, drizzle dressing on the avocado slices before adding to the salad to prevent browning.
