Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 3 Tablespoons sugar or equivalent sweetener
  • 2 Tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon finely minced shallots
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Salad

  • 6 cups lettuce of your choice, torn
  • 1 grapefruit peeled, sectioned, with sections cut in half
  • 2 oranges peeled and sectioned
  • 1 avocado peeled and cubed
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together dressing ingredients.
  • Toss greens with dressing. Top with citrus, avocado and almonds.

Notes

Note: Because this dressing relies somewhat on the “bulk” of the sugar/sweetener, if you use a substitute, select one with some substance rather than “drops”. I used one that was 1 tsp sweetener = 4 tsp of sugar and that worked well, as should a 1:1 sweetener.
