Citrus Salad with Arugula, Golden Raisins and Walnuts

Ingredients

  • 2 red grapefruits
  • 3 navel oranges
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped coarse
  • 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 ounces(4 cups) arugula
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins

Instructions

  1. Cut away peel and pith from grapefruits and oranges. Cut each fruit in half from pole to pole, then slice crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Transfer fruit to bowl and toss with sugar and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Melt butter in 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer walnuts to paper towel–lined plate.
  3. Drain fruit in colander, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Transfer fruit to platter, arrange in even layer, and drizzle with oil. Whisk reserved juice, shallot, and mustard in medium bowl. Add arugula, ¼ cup raisins, and ¼ cup reserved walnuts and toss to coat. Arrange arugula mixture over fruit, leaving 1-inch border around edges. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup raisins and remaining 1/4 cup reserved walnuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
