Orange, Avocado & Arugula Salad
Goodness, this salad is delicious. It’s light, refreshing, and tangy, thanks to it’s vinaigrette dressing and spicy arugula. I made this for lunch the other day and went outside to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful weather on the patio…all alone. It was perfect.
Please make this for yourself. The recipe only makes a single serving. I suggest you treat yourself kindly and have it outside too. I promise you will enjoy every moment and bite!
Orange, Avocado & Arugula Salad
2 handfuls fresh arugula, washed
1 orange
1/2 avocado
1 slice of thinly shaved red onion
6 walnut halves, toasted and chopped
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp good quality olive oil
1/4 tsp stone ground mustard
1/4 tsp crushed garlic cloves
pinch of kosher salt and cracked black pepper, each
Arrange arugula on a salad plate. Cut orange top and bottom off. Peel, by cutting skin away from orange. Slice orange horizontally. Slice avocado into wedges. Place orange, avocado, and thinly sliced onion on top of greens and sprinkle with toasted walnuts. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic and salt and pepper until combined well. Drizzle over salad. Enjoy!

Looks delicious and fresh!
It is! Let me know if you try it. Wish I could have one for today’s lunch. 😉
How beautiful – looks like Spring!!! I love using citrus in my salads – must try this!!!
Me too! And now that we are overflowing with oranges, I’ll probably be making many more citrus inspired dishes. Suggestions are always welcome!
I absolutely love the pairing of red onion and orange! So good! Beautiful salad that I am definitely going to try, outside, while staring at my newly built chicken coop. Ahhhhhh…. 😉
Diana, you’re a girl after my own heart. Citrus, al fresco AND chickens!
The salad looks lovely and I will definitely try it, however I will give the eating it outside a miss, I come from the U.K and we are having the worst cold weather since 1963! Brrrrrrrrrr.
This looks wonderful. I will have to try this. I am currently dreaming of warm weather and gardening and this crisp delish looking salad makes me want to grill out and serve this on the side! Thanks for sharing, as I always enjoy popping over to visit!
