Ingredients
- 2 hearts romaine lettuce

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce hearts. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly into a large salad bowl or onto individual plates.
Step 2
Peel the oranges, ensuring to remove all the white pith. Cut the oranges into segments by slicing between the membranes. Set aside the segments and discard the membranes.
Step 3
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and slice the flesh into thin pieces.
Step 4
Thinly slice the red onion into very fine rings or half-moons to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
Step 5
Arrange the orange segments, avocado slices, and red onion over the bed of romaine lettuce.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, white wine vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified.
Step 7
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad, ensuring even coverage.
Step 8
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad for a fresh aromatic finish.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, healthy dish!
