How to Make Green Salad with Orange, Avocado, and Onion
Get creative with your oranges! Try navel, Valencia, Cara Cara, or blood oranges when you see them at your local market. They each have a slightly different delicious flavor but all of them are filled with vitamin C, fiber, and other good-for-you nutrients.
Complete your plate: Add this salad to any meal that needs a vegetable boost. We've paired it with Southwest-Style Turkey Meatloaf and Mashed Red Potatoes.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, sweetener, kosher salt, and black pepper.
-
Remove the peel and the white pith from around the oranges. Using a paring knife, cut in between the membranes to release the orange segments, and slice them into thirds. Place the orange pieces into a medium bowl.
-
Add the mixed greens, avocado cubes, and red onion to the bowl and drizzle with the lime juice mixture. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve.
