Roasted Citrus and Avocado Salad

Ingredients for Roasted Citrus and Avocado Salad

• 1 blood or Valencia orange, sliced 1/8" thick, seeds removed

• 1 Meyer or regular lemon, sliced 1/8" thick, seeds removed

• 4 cucchiai di olio d'oliva, divisi

• Sale kosher, pepe macinato fresco

• 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer or regular lemon juice

• 1 bunch watercress or rocket, thick stems trimmed

• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

• 1 avocado, cut into wedges

Preheat oven to 425°. Toss orange and lemon slices with 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast citrus, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and starting to caramelize, 10-15 minutes. This makes the citrus flavour more complex. Let cool.

Meanwhile, combine onion and lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit 5 minutes (onion will soften a bit and get slightly sweeter and less harsh).

Add roasted citrus to bowl with onion along with rocket and mint. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons oil over; season with salt and pepper and toss everything to combine and coat.

Add avocado and very gently toss until lightly dressed (you don't want to crush the avocado).
