Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4th small red onion, very thinly sliced
4 blood oranges (or regular oranges), peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large or 2 small-to-medium ripe avocados, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
Flaky sea salt or kosher salt
1 teaspoon nigella seed, black sesame seeds* or pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Fill a medium-sized bowl with ice and water, and soak the onions for 10 to 20 minutes. This step makes the onions crisp and softens their flavor intensity.
  • Meanwhile, on a large serving plate, layer the orange and avocado slices.
  • Drain the onion well and tuck pieces in between and on top of the orange and avocado. Drizzle the salad with the lime juice and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Sprinkle the seeds and cilantro on top, then drizzle the olive oil all over it. Serve promptly.

BLOOD ORANGE AVOCADO SALAD

My refreshing side salad is such a nice addition to our calorie-loaded Thanksgiving dinner. Use regular oranges if you can't find blood oranges. Finely chopped walnuts work well in place of the pomegranate seeds, too. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
