Green Salad
Avocado and Mandarin Orange Mixed Salad Greens
No need to make the dressing from scratch unless you want to. Good
prepared Italian or Raspberry Vinaigrette works just fine here.
1 can Mandarin oranges, drained well
1 bunch green onions, sliced thin (a generous 1/2 cup)
Chopped toasted pecans or nuts of your choice, about 3/4 cup
1 bag mixed salad greens, about 4 cups
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup salad dressing
Combine oranges, onions and nuts. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Just before
serving, place greens on platter, top with orange mixture and avocado
slices. Drizzle with dressing. Serves 6-8.
To toast nuts: Preheat oven to 350. Place in single layer on cookie
sheet. Toast 5-7 minutes or until fragrant. Keeps for weeks in covered
container
in pantry.
Avocado and Mandarin Oranges jazz up this green salad.
