How to Make Avocado Mandarin Tossed Salad
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast 1/2 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely and roughly chop.
- Segment 2 mandarin oranges, removing all membranes. Finely chop 1/4 cup red onion.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the mandarin orange segments, red onion, toasted pecans, and a pinch of black pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, toss 5 oz of mixed salad greens in a large bowl.
- Top the greens with the chilled mandarin orange mixture and 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced.
- Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette (about 2 tablespoons) and serve immediately.
