  • 1 tablespoon shallot, minced (from 1 small shallot)
  • 3/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 firm but ripe Haas avocado, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 2 cups (1 ounce) loosely packed baby arugula leaves
  • 1 blood orange, peeled, segmented, and seeded

Method

  • In small bowl, whisk together blood orange juice, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gradually add olive oil and whisk vigorously to combine. (Vinaigrette can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days. Whisk thoroughly before using.)
  • Divide avocado between two plates, fanning out slices over half of plate. Top with arugula and drizzle with vinaigrette. Top with blood orange segments and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
