  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4-6 (makes about 9 cups) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups baby spinach leaves (loosely packed)
  • 2 cups baby arugula leaves (loosely packed)
  • 1 large mango, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 grapefruit, peeled and cut into sections (with seeds removed)
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled or unpeeled and sliced (about 2 cups)
  • ½ cup thinly sliced fresh fennel
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1 medium, ripe avocado, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (I like apple cider)
  • ¼ cup lime juice

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the spinach and arugula, pat it dry with paper towels, and place it into a large bowl. (If you are not using baby spinach and baby arugula, you may want to coarsely chop larger leaves.)
  2. Add the mango, grapefruit, cucumber, fennel, green onion, basil, and avocado (if using) to the bowl of spinach and arugula. Add the vinegar and lime juice, and toss.

Notes

Arugula is a peppery-tasting salad green that can be found in bulk or bunches in most produce sections. If you cannot locate any, use more spinach in its place.

If you cannot find fresh fennel, you may substitute with celery. I like using a small handheld or regular sized mandolin to achieve very thin slices of fennel and celery.
