Notes
- Prepare and slice all ingredients a day ahead and keep citrus separate from fennel and shallots in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
- Make the dressing ahead and store it in a tightly sealed mason jar refrigerated until use.
- Dress the salad just before serving to keep the greens and citrus fresh and crisp.
- Store leftover undressed salad in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and keep remaining dressing refrigerated for up to 5 days.
