Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, remove all of the peel and pith from the citrus fruit. To section each fruit, cut between the membrane and flesh of each fruit and remove the flesh. You should have 2 cups fruit. After sectioning, squeeze the leftover membranes over a bowl to reserve the juice.
- Combine 3 tablespoon of reserved fruit juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a screw top jar. Close and shake vigorously to combine.
- Arrange mixed greens, Swiss chard, orange, grapefruit, and clementine sections, red onion, avocado, and cashews on a large serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.

CITRUS SALAD WITH PEANUTS AND AVOCADO
There's really no need for leafy greens in a big, meaty citrus salad. The first step is to acquire a range of fruit - citrus of different colors, sizes and shapes, with varied levels of acidity and sweetness. Cutting the fruit so you don't lose too much juice is key: Cut the pith and peel with a knife, then slice the fruit horizontally with a sharp knife that doesn't crush and squeeze. A simple dressing of fish sauce, sweetened with a little brown sugar, works well, especially when it's offset with some fatty pieces of avocado and some fresh herbs.

Steps:
- Slice off citrus tips on both sides using a sharp knife to create two flat surfaces. Setting the citrus on one flat surface, slice off the skin and pith, following the shape of the sphere. Once skins are fully removed, slice each fruit horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Roughly dice the avocado.
- Whisk the fish sauce, sugar and vinegar in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the shallot. Transfer the citrus segments, avocado, half the herbs and half the peanuts to the dressing bowl, and gently toss to coat. Tip into a serving plate, and garnish with remaining herbs and peanuts.

AVOCADO CITRUS SALAD
We have a 2-1/2-acre avocado grove. It's located on a high slope just north of town. In the distance, we see foothills covered with avocado and citrus groves. Those two crops make a great combination in this salad. Friends always request it. -Dorothy Kostas, Escondido, California

Steps:
- 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 flavor 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 arugula 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).
