This bright and vibrant Summer Citrus Salad with Lemon-Shallot Vinaigrette is filled with oranges, grapefruit, and a blend of three crisp lettuces for the ultimate summertime salad. It's a copycat of a recipe from the popular Los Angeles health food store, Erewhon, and is perfect for cooling down on those warm summer days!
