Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large avocado, peeled, and cut into 1/2
1 c steamed asparagus, cut into 1" lengths
1 c orange segments, zest the orange and reserve.
VINAIGRETTE
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic
2 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp orange zest
1/4 to 1/3 c oil, vegetable or evoo
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Steam the asparagus until crisp-tender and plunge into cold water to stop cooking. Zest the orange and then peel and cut into segments, (catch any juice in a bowl and also squeeze any remaining juice from what is left after segmenting). Peel and seed the avocado and cut into chunks.

If the oranges are tart, you might want to add a little sugar. Or you may want to increase mustard slightly. Just make it to your taste.
  • 4. Toss salad ingredients with some of the dressing to coat, and serve as is or on a small bed of greens. Pass any remaining dressing.
