Orange and Avocado Salad

A simple, well-known but superb salad.

You will need;-

Oranges

Avocado

Shallots

Cucumber

Mixed Salad Leavess

-A dressing to compliment. This depends on what else you are serving the salad with.

I like a squeeze of lemon and lime as this salad goes will with deep, rich and smoky flavours- it provides a welcome burst of fresh and fruity.

Slice the cucumber- do this in a special way however. First slice down the center of the cucumber. Then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and excess water, finally place the cucumber face-down and slice horizontally to make crescent moon shapes on a slight angle.

Peel the shallots and dice.

Peel and slice the avocado and the oranges- cut the oranges into quarters before slicing horizontally. Try to keep the avocado and the orange roughly the same sizes.

Mix the cucumber and shallots with the salad leaves. Then add the avocado and oranges and mix carefully to avoid breaking them up. Squeeze on fresh lemon, fresh lime juice and you're done.
