Orange & avocado salad
Discover the perfect blend of fresh flavors in this zesty orange and creamy avocado salad. A delightful medley of citrusy notes and smooth textures.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup packed cilantro
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Pinch of minced garlic
- 2 large oranges
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 avocado, diced
- ¼ cup slivered red onion
- ½ cup Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
Instructions:
- For the vinaigrette: Blend together cilantro, oil, lime juice, orange juice, salt, pepper, and garlic in a blender or food processor until the mixture becomes smooth.
- For the salad: Trim both ends of the oranges. Using a sharp knife, peel off the skin and white pith, and then discard them. Hold the oranges over a salad bowl and carefully cut out the segments without the surrounding membranes; discard the membranes. Combine greens, avocado, onion, and vinaigrette in the bowl; mix well. (You can store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.)
