Avocado And Orange Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the segments from 2 of the oranges and put in a bowl with the carrots, rocket and avocados. Whisk together the orange juice, zest and oil. Toss through the salad, and season.

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine dressing ingredients; shake well. Chill. , Just before serving, toss the greens in a large salad bowl. Dip the avocado slices into orange juice. Arrange the cucumber, red onion and oranges over greens. Add the avocado (discard remaining juice). Serve with dressing.

Steps:

• On two salad plates, arrange the greens, orange, avocado and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Drizzle over salads.

Steps:

• Soak 1/4 thinly sliced red onion in cold water, about 10 minutes. Whisk 1/4 cup orange juice, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Drain the onion; toss with 2 bunches watercress, 2 sliced avocados, 2 segmented oranges and the dressing. Top with chopped toasted hazelnuts.

Steps:

• Cut off ends of oranges; using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between sections to remove whole segments; add segments to a large bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into a bowl; measure out 3 tablespoons juice; reserve remaining juice for another use.
• In a small bowl, whisk together reserved orange juice, vinegar, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, combine oranges, lettuce, avocado, and radishes. Drizzle with dressing as desired, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a seperate bowl, lightly toss segmented oranges, red leaf lettuce, and avocado.
• Pour vinegar dressing over all.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Segment the oranges by slicing off the tops and bottoms. Work around the orange using a sharp knife to cut downwards, to remove the peel and pith. Once peeled, hold in one hand and carefully cut between membranes to remove the segments. (If possible collect the juices for the dressing.).
• Cut avocados in halves and remove stones. Remove skin and then slice avocado. Use lemon juice to coat avocado to prevent browning.
• Arrange the orange and avocado on small plates, as desired, decorating with the pecans. Drizzle with the dressing.
• Dressing: combine all dressing ingredients in a screw top jar. Shake to combine. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Pound the garlic with a healthy pinch of salt in a mortar until you have a wet, fairly smooth paste. (You can also do this on a cutting board, chopping and mashing and chopping and mashing until you're satisfied.) Put the paste in a large mixing bowl. Add the cumin, coriander, chilies, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil and stir well, then add the carrots and toss well so they're coated with the oil and spices. Sprinkle on 3 healthy pinches of salt, crushing the grains with your fingers as you add them, and toss again.
• Put the carrots in a large shallow baking dish in one layer. Scrape out the extra garlic, spices, and oil from the bowl and spread evenly on top of the carrots. Pour 1/4 cup water into an empty spot in the casserole (you don't want to wash off the tasty oily stuff) and tilt the dish so the water spreads across the bottom.
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and put it in the oven. Cook the carrots for 25 minutes. Take off the foil and keep cooking until the carrots are lightly browned, and about as tender and creamy as avocado flesh, but not so soft that they threaten to fall apart, about 35 minutes more.
• While the carrots are roasting, segment the orange as you would a lemon. Squeeze the membranes into a small bowl to release the juice. Set it aside.
• When the carrots are done, take the dish out of the oven and let it sit until the carrots have cooled a bit but are still warm.
• Meanwhile, take the avocados from the fridge. Halve them lengthwise, remove the pits, and peel the halves. Cut the flesh lengthwise into slices about the same size as the carrots-the slices should be sturdy enough that they don't break up when you toss them.
• Put the avocado slices in a large mixing bowl and add the reserved orange juice, the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a healthy pinch or two of salt. Toss gently and well with your hands. Push the avocado to one side of the bowl. Add the carrots a handful at a time, scraping and tossing them in the beautiful green liquid in the bowl before adding the next handful. Make sure to scrape out and add all the garlicky spices left in the baking dish. Toss it all together gently, being careful not to break the avocado slices.
• Stack the carrots, avocado, and orange segments on a platter or in a serving bowl so they're facing this way and that. Top with the cilantro and serve right away.

Steps:

• If the spinach is not sold rinsed and dried, rinse it well and dry it. And if the spinach is not very young, with small leaves, remove the stems. Put the spinach in a bowl.
• Beat the lime juice and mustard together. Beat in the oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Peel the oranges and, using a sharp knife, cut away all the white pith. Divide into segments and put in a bowl.
• Cut the avocado into quarters and remove the pit. Cut the flesh from the skin and slice it. Add the slices to the bowl with the orange segments. Add the onion slices and toss with half the dressing.
• To serve, toss the spinach with the remaining dressing. Arrange the oranges, avocado and onion on top.

Steps:

• Halve avocados lengthwise; pit and peel, keeping halves intact. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 slices. Arrange lettuce, oranges, and avocados on a platter. Season with salt; garnish with mint. Serve immediately, with vinaigrette on the side.
