Danny Trejo grew up on an 80-acre Florida nursery and grove, where citrus was all he knew. He also knew it wasn’t what he wanted to do with his life. Instead, he went into insurance and moved to New York City. But, one day in 2015, he was walking along a sidewalk in the Flower District and spotted citrus plants from his father’s farm. “I couldn’t believe the markup!” he says.

For this bright and refreshing citrus salad, chef Eddie Hernandez of Taqueria del Sol uses an 80/20 blend of vegetable oil to olive oil. "If you’re going to use 100 percent olive oil when you do a salad," he advises, "don’t add anything else. Pure olive oil is something you want to showcase; it doesn't make for a good mixed dressing."
