Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocado
- 2 medium Orange
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 3 cups Arugula
- 1 large (for juice) Lime
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh mint
- 0.25 cup (shelled and roughly chopped) Pistachios
Instructions
Peel and segment the oranges over a bowl to catch the juices. Once segmented, set the orange segments aside and save the juice for the dressing.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and peel the skin. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the reserved orange juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, orange segments, avocado slices, and red onion.
Drizzle the lime dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to crush the avocado slices.
Sprinkle the salad with chopped pistachios and fresh mint for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
