Ingredients
Salad:
  • 1 bunch of kale, leaves removed from stems, and chopped into small pieces
  • 2 oranges (zest one!) peeled, de-seeded and cut into chunk or segments (I used Minneolas)
  • 1 grapefuit (optional), peeled, de-seeded and cut into chunks or segments
  • 3-4 asparagus, steamed and chopped into 2" pieces
  • 2-3 scallions, sliced thinly
  • Handful fresh mint (optional)
Dressing:
  • ¼ c. fresh orange juice
  • 1 Tb. fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 small clove garlic, peeled & grated
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 2 Tb. olive oil
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tb. low-fat plain yogurt
Instructions
  1. Place kale in large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with a little kosher salt and 1 tsp. olive oil. "Massage" the leaves with your hands and let sit a few minutes.
  2. Add into the bowl of kale the oranges, grapefruit, asparagus and scallions.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice (I squeezed in the juice from the removed orange peels, but you can just also use bottled OJ), lemon juice, grated garlic, honey, zest, S&P. Whisk together then drizzle in olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Add yogurt and blend until creamy. Refrigerate 20 minutes before serving.
  4. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.
