Citrus and Avocado Salad

Such a gorgeous salad to ring Spring in

As we welcome Spring, nothing makes me happier than a delicious, bright salad to gather around. This is vibrant, creamy and citrusy and a definite crowd pleaser (even for those who aren’t sure about fruit in salad - just try it!)

Let’s go shopping.

Salad (Serves six as an appetizer)

• 5 cups mixed greens

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 oranges, peeled and thinly sliced (note: add another if you’re making the dressing)

• 1 large avocado, halved and thinly sliced

• 1/2 english cucumber, thinly sliced

• salt and pepper

Dressing

• 4 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice

• zest of half an orange

• 1/3 cup olive or avocado oil

• 1 tsp dijon mustard

• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

• 1 tsp honey

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 freshly cracked black pepper

Build the salad

Prepare all your ingredients and build the salad.

For the dressing, add all the ingredients into a container that can be easily shaken. Top the salad immediately prior to serving.

Enjoy!
