1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel |

1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups mandarin oranges |
2 small purple onions |
2 avocados |
2 heads romaine lettuce |
1 head lettuce (any leaf-type lettuce) |
Directions:
1. Make dressing: Combine vinegar, oil, orange juice, mustard, orange peel, lemon juice, sugar, and salt.
2. Drain mandarin oranges.
3. Slice onions into very thin slices.
4. Combine mandarin oranges, sliced avocados and onion rings.
5. Cover orange/avocado/onion mixture with dressing and refrigerate.
6. Immediately before serving, break up lettuce and spoon orange/avocado mixture over lettuce.
