Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole oranges
- 2 whole avocados
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Slice each orange into thin rounds and set aside.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and gently scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
Thinly slice the red onion into slivers. If the flavor is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
On a large platter or individual plates, arrange the baby arugula as the base. Top with the orange slices, avocado wedges, and red onion slivers.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy your Easy Orange and Avocado Ensalada!
