From the California Avocado Commision this is a great flavor combination. The original recipe calls for cooked sliced chicken breasts but I leave it out and serve this as a side dish. This salad is easy to throw together. Enjoy! Ingredients:
10 ounces salad greens |
15 ounces mandarin oranges, canned |
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup pecans, i like them toasted |
1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette |
2 avocados, seeded, peeled and cut into chunks |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine the salad greens, oranges, red onion and pecans.
2. In a small bowl combine the vinaigrette and 1/2 cup of the avocado. Mash and blend the avocado into the dressing.
3. Add the remaining avocado and the dressing to the salad and toss to combine.
4. Serve immeadiately.
