Tis the season for all kinds of glorious citrus! And what better way to eat it than in a Citrus Avocado Salad!
I don’t need much of an excuse to make a salad or eat guacamole. They are 2 things that I’m extra good at and I make no apologies for that. This citrus avocado salad is bringing those 2 things together and it’s currently giving me life. Plus it’s helping me stay healthy, keep my food colorful and it’s making me happy.
Grab your favorite kinds of citrus – I’m partial to navel oranges cara cara oranges, tangerines, mandarin oranges and blood oranges – but you can mix and match as you wish!
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups various farmers market lettuce (little gem etc)
- 2 navel oranges
