Orange Avocado Salad
Orange Avocado Salad
Hi Everyone! Welcome back to Turnips 2 Tangerines. Hope things are going well for you:) I can’t believe we are finally in the month of March. I didn’t think January would ever end but lo and behold it did. Living in Wisconsin, a sure sign that winter is dragging on, is when you start seeing people shoveling snow off of their lawns!! Enough about the weather, let’s get on to the recipe, Orange Avocado Salad. Sounds strange I know but it’s really delicious.
Stock Up On Citrus
There is something so satisfying about biting into a large, juicy navel orange when you’re watching it snow outside. Now is the time to stock up on oranges, lemons, grapefruit and limes. Where I live, citrus season runs from December through late March. When on sale, I like to buy several bags of each and juice, zest and freeze to have on hand for future use. Freeze the citrus juice in ice cube trays and save the zest in snack size ziplock baggies. Add to sauces, tea, cocktails or anything else you want to add a bit of freshness too.
Oranges and Avocados?
You might be saying to yourself, “Oranges and avocado? Now that’s an odd combination.” It sounds odd but trust me the combination works! Throw in a super, thinly slice shallot and it’s really works!! This salad is fresh, citrusy and creamy. Perfection at its finest. A word about the avocados. I used mini avocados, which worked perfectly in this recipe. (I love mini fruits and vegetables) if you can’t find the mini avocados, large will do. The secret is; make sure your avocado is ripe, yet firm. You’re making a salad here..not guacamole;)
