Citrus and Avocado Salad with Orange Water

Citrus and Avocado Salad with Orange Water
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds mixed citrus (such as oranges, blood oranges, and/or grapefruit)
  • 1/2 cup kumquats, thinly sliced, seeds removed (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons orange-flower or rose water
  • Large pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 avocado, cut into large pieces
  • 3 tablespoons salted or unsalted, roasted pistachios, finely crushed
  • 3 tablespoons tarragon leaves
  • Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Using a paring knife, remove peel and white pith from citrus, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh. Slice citrus into 1/2"-thick rounds, then cut into 1 1/2" pieces (it looks cool and is less fussy if pieces aren’t too exact in shape and size). Transfer to a medium bowl and add kumquats, if using, lemon juice, orange-flower water, and salt. Toss and let sit 5 minutes so citrus can release some of their juices.
  2. Transfer citrus, leaving juice behind, to a large plate. Tuck avocado in between and around citrus.
  3. Spoon citrus juice over salad, scatter pistachios and tarragon over, and drizzle with oil.
