Citrus-Avocado Salad
Ingredients
  • 4 medium oranges
  • 2 ruby red grapefruits
  • 4 small ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
  • 1/4 cup  pomegranate seeds
  • 8 leaves red-leaf lettuce
  • Celery Seed Dressing
Directions

1. Peel and section the oranges and grapefuits, working over a bowl to catch juices; set juices aside. Reserve 24 orange sections; dice the remaining sections.

2. Slash rounded end of each avocado three times, cutting about three-quarters of the way to the opposite end each time. Turn flat sides up and insert an orange section in each slash.

3. Brush avocados with reserved fruit juices. Heap the diced oranges and grapefruit sections into avocados. Garnish with pomegranate seeds. Serve on lettuce with Celery Seed Dressing. (Refrigerate any remaining dressing for another use.) Makes 8 servings.
