BLOOD ORANGE AVOCADO SALAD



Blood Orange Avocado Salad image

My refreshing side salad is such a nice addition to our calorie-loaded Thanksgiving dinner. Use regular oranges if you can't find blood oranges. Finely chopped walnuts work well in place of the pomegranate seeds, too. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

1/4th small red onion, very thinly sliced
4 blood oranges (or regular oranges), peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large or 2 small-to-medium ripe avocados, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
Flaky sea salt or kosher salt

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the seeds and cilantro on top, then drizzle the olive oil all over it. Serve promptly.
