A bright and refreshing citrus avocado salad with creamy avocado, juicy oranges, and a smooth, nutty orange tahini vinaigrette for a perfectly balanced and vibrant dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons toasted seeds or nuts
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by slicing the avocado and segmenting the oranges.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, avocado slices, orange segments, and red onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad.
  5. Gently toss to combine without mashing the avocado.
  6. Sprinkle toasted seeds or nuts on top for added crunch.
  7. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe vegan.
  • Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Cucumber or fennel can be added for extra crunch and freshness.
  • A pinch of chili flakes adds a subtle heat.
  • Prepare dressing ahead and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • A drizzle of lemon juice over avocado can help maintain its color.
  • Grapefruit or mandarins can be used instead of oranges.
