Ingredients
- 2 whole oranges
- 2 whole avocados
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Slice each orange into thin rounds and set aside.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and gently scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion into slivers. If the flavor is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Step 5
On a large platter or individual plates, arrange the baby arugula as the base. Top with the orange slices, avocado wedges, and red onion slivers.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy your Easy Orange and Avocado Ensalada!
