Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon (generous) Asian sesame oil
1 navel orange
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach leaves
1 Pinkerton or Fuerte avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

  • Cut off peel and white pith from orange. Cut orange into 1/3-inch rounds; cut rounds crosswise in half. Add spinach to dressing; toss to coat. Add avocado and orange; toss gently.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or nearly black in color and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are hard or have brown spots.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach leaves are tender and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid wilted or yellowed spinach leaves.
  • Segment the oranges: To segment oranges, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Then, score the orange vertically around the circumference. Peel off the skin and separate the orange segments.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting almonds enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy. To toast almonds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad on busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

The avocado orange spinach toss is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of creamy avocados, sweet oranges, tender spinach, and crunchy almonds makes this salad a delight to eat.
