How to Make Avocado Orange Salad For Two

  4. Divide the lettuce, orange segments, and avocado equally among two chilled plates.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

  7. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
