Ingredients for Avocado Orange And Purple Onion Salad

  • Navel Oranges
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Light Olive Oil
  • Dried Italian Seasoning

How to Make Avocado Orange And Purple Onion Salad

  1. Supreme the oranges: Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin and all the white pith from the oranges. Over a bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release each orange segment.
  2. Prepare the avocado: Halve, pit, and peel the avocado. Slice it crosswise into thin, half-moon shapes.
  3. Slice the red onion: Thinly slice the red onion and separate into rings.
  4. Assemble the salad: Arrange the orange segments, avocado slices, and red onion rings artfully in a serving bowl.
  5. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sea salt, 1 tablespoon of reserved orange juice, olive oil, and lemon juice (or white wine vinegar).
  6. Dress and serve immediately: Pour the dressing over the salad and serve at once. Enjoy the fresh flavors!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
