Health benefits of Citrus Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Grapefruits are rich in folic acid. One grapefruit will give you 8% of your daily needs of folic acid.

Ingredients

1 large pink grapefruit, peeled and cut into supremes
2 oranges, peeled and cut into supremes
2 avocados, peeled and sliced
2 lemons, freshly squeezed
4 cups arugula, washed and trimmed
4 tablespoons Paula Deen Vidalia Onion Poppyseed Dressing

Instructions

In a small bowl, place the peeled and sliced avocados and squeeze the lemon juice over them to prevent browning. On 4 plates, mound the arugula and divide the grapefruit and orange supremes among them. Top with avocado slices. Drizzle each plate with the dressing.
Cutting an orange supreme: Slice off the top and bottom 1/2" of each orange, revealing the flesh. Cutting in sloping strips, use a sharp knife to remove the rest of the orange's skin. Now cut the individual wedges apart into the bowl, leaving behind all pith. You'€™re left with just beautiful pieces of orange flesh. Do the same for grapefruit.
