How to Make Avocado And Mandarin Orange Salad
- **Make the dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil (reduce to 1/2 tablespoon if desired), 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- **Prep the ingredients:** Drain one 11-ounce can of mandarin oranges. Thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion. Dice 1 ripe avocado.
- **Combine:** Gently combine the drained mandarin oranges, diced avocado, and sliced red onion in a medium bowl.
