ORANGE AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH SWEET CHILI VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, vinegar and honey; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, syrupy and reduced by about two-thirds, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder and refrigerate until cooled completely, about 1 hour.
• Arrange the orange and avocado on a round platter, shingling the pieces in a circular formation. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the orange vinaigrette over the salad and finish with the extra-virgin olive oil.

AVOCADO AND ORANGE SALAD WITH HONEY AND GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Segment and juice 3 of the oranges in the following way: Cut both ends off 1 of the oranges and place it, cut side up, on a cutting board. Using a sharp, flexible knife, cut the skin and white membrane from the orange. Use a sawing motion and cut from top to bottom following the contours of the orange. Free the orange segments by cutting along the seams that separate them from each other. Do this over a bowl to collect any juices. Reserve the segments separately and squeeze what's left of the orange over the bowl to collect the juice. Do the same with the remaining 2 oranges. Strain the juice into a measuring cup: You should have about 3/4 cup; if not, juice the remaining orange and add as much as needed.
• Combine the ginger, mayonnaise, mustard, and honey with 1/2 cup of the orange juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a small bowl, combine half of the chopped shallots with 3 tablespoons of the remaining orange juice. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the avocados lengthwise up to the large pit in the middle. Gently twist apart the 2 halves and remove the pit. Wedge a teaspoon between the skin and the flesh and remove the flesh in 1 piece. Cut the avocados into 1-inch pieces and put them into the bowl with the honey-and-ginger dressing. Add the remaining shallots, the chopped mint and the chopped cilantro, and mix together lightly so as not to break up the avocado.
• When ready to serve, set aside 8 orange segments. Toss the rest with the whole lettuce leaves and just enough of the orange-and-olive oil vinaigrette to coat. Divide the lettuce and oranges among 4 plates. Spoon some avocado onto each plate (there will be some dressing left in the bowl). Top with the reserved orange segments and drizzle any remaining honey-and-ginger dressing over the salad. Garnish with whole mint and cilantro leaves, and, if you like, some pickled ginger.

AVOCADO-TOAST BREAKFAST SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bread and almonds on a baking sheet, and bake, flipping the bread once, until it is toasted and crunchy and the almonds are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, put the vinegar, orange juice and zest, oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid, and shake until combined. (The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
• Put an avocado quarter on each slice of toast, and mash and spread the avocado with a fork to cover. Quarter each piece of toast, and arrange the pieces on 4 plates with the points facing out to make a square.
• Toss the arugula, toasted almonds, feta, radishes and vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Put a mound of salad on top of each avocado toast square. Quarter the remaining orange half, and garnish each salad with a piece.
