Winter Citrus and Bacon Salad

One of my new favorite cookbooks is Against all Grain by Danielle Walker. She is amazing! Her cookbook is loaded with recipes that are gluten, grain and dairy-free and I’m enjoying cooking my way through it. I highly recommend her cookbook (and I say this without being compensated in anyway).

This Paleo-friendly Winter Citrus and Bacon Salad is from Against All Grain. Walker includes almonds in her salad and I added a little more bacon. I love that recipes are all about interpretation and making them your own.

Time to whip up this easy winter salad and dig in! I served mine with a little Lemon Tilapia (minus the slaw).

Paleo Winter Citrus and Bacon Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup olive oil

Directions:

1. In a bowl or on a large platter, combine the arugula, orange, grapefruit and bacon.
2. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
3. Place vinegar, mustard and olive oil in a small bowl or jar with a lid and either whisk or shake to combine. You want the dressing well blended.
