  • 2 cups mixed greens
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling the blood oranges to remove the skin, then segment them by cutting between the membranes. Set these segments aside.
  2. Carefully cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and then scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Slice the avocado into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Thinly slice the red onion. If you prefer a milder taste, you can soak the sliced onions in cold water for about 10 minutes to reduce their bite.
Assembly
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, blood orange segments, avocado slices, and red onion.
  2. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine their flavors evenly. Serve immediately for the best texture!

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To refresh, add a splash of olive oil or balsamic vinegar before serving.
