This side salad celebrates the best of citrus season
This mixed citrus and avocado salad is everything you want during the peak of citrus season. Vibrant colors, sweet and tart flavors, AND it's healthy!
How does this salad come together?
Peel and slice up whatever citrus your heart desires. Do the same with an avocado. Arrange those beauties on a big plate or a platter.
Next, you'll whisk up a few ingredients and drizzle them over the produce.
Aaaand, that's really about it. Couldn't be easier.
Customize this salad however you'd like!
I used blood, cara cara, and mandarin oranges for this version. But, really, you should use whatever citrus varieties that you like?
Want to use a grapefruit? Do it. Navel oranges? Yup, go for it. Heck, you could even slice up some Meyer lemons and toss them into the salad.
You do you.
