Directions

1. Make the vadouvan fried shallots: In a small sauté pan, toast the cumin, coriander and brown mustard seeds separately until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes each. Grind the spices until fine and combine in a bowl, along with the turmeric, brown sugar, salt, sumac and nutmeg. Set aside.
2. Using a mandoline, slice the shallots ⅛ inch thin, then using your fingers, separate the individual rings. Place the shallot rings in a small saucepot and cover with the vegetable oil. If the shallots are not completely submerged in the oil, add more oil until they are covered.
3. Place the pot over medium-low heat and fry until the shallots are golden brown and crispy, 17 to 20 minutes. Stir the shallots in the oil frequently to keep them from burning. Using a spider tool, transfer the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil as they begin to cool and crisp up. Lightly season the shallots with salt. While still warm, transfer the shallots to a small bowl and toss with the vadouvan spice mixture; reserve for later.
4. While the shallots are frying, make the turmeric yogurt: In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt and turmeric until the turmeric is fully incorporated into the yogurt. Season with salt and set aside for later.
5. Make the Aperol vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk all of the vinaigrette ingredients together and set aside.
6. Make the charred citrus salad: Turn the broiler on high and move one rack to the position closest to the broiler. Place the grapefruit on a baking sheet and char, 7 to 10 minutes. Let the grapefruit cool to room temperature. When they are cool enough to handle, segment the grapefruit into supremes. Transfer the grapefruit and orange segments to a medium bowl, and squeeze out any juice from the pith into the bowl as well. Toss the segments in their own juices and set aside.
7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula, parsley and tarragon leaves with the desired amount of the Aperol vinaigrette.
8. Plate the salad: Spoon the turmeric yogurt across each serving platter, then build the salad on top of the yogurt, alternating between the dressed greens and the three kinds of citrus segments. Garnish each salad with some of the vadouvan fried shallots and a small sprinkle of finishing salt to serve.
