- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey

- 1 Tbs honey
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and skin removed
- 1 grapefruit, peeled, sliced, and seeded
- 3 heads endive (or romaine lettuce)
Directions
- Combine rice wine vinegar, honey, and water in jar with tight lid; shake until well blended. Add onions to the jar.
- Shake jar to coat onions in liquid, then refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. If necessary, shake the jar a few times during the 6 hours to be sure the onions marinate evenly.
- Grate 2 teaspoons of orange peel. Combine orange peel, oil, vinegar, and honey in a small jar with a lid; set aside.
- For each serving, arrange endive and/or romaine leaves in a spoke-like fashion on individual plates. Portion orange segments, avocado slices, and grapefruit segments onto the center spokes of endive and/or romaine.
- Lift marinated onions from liquid with a fork and transfer to the top of each salad. Drizzle with orange peel-infused dressing before serving.
