This winter citrus salad is a vibrant, refreshing dish that balances bright, juicy oranges with creamy avocado, crunchy toasted walnuts and tangy feta cheese. The base of mixed greens or arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite, while thinly sliced shallots bring just the right amount of mild sharpness. Everything is tied together with a zesty lime tahini vinaigrette, which is rich, nutty and slightly sweet from a touch of honey. The result is a beautifully textured salad that’s both light and satisfying, perfect for a wholesome lunch, a side dish or even a standout addition to a winter gathering. If you love citrusy, creamy and crunchy elements in every bite, this salad is for you.
