Avocado Citrus Salad image

We have a 2-1/2-acre avocado grove. It's located on a high slope just north of town. In the distance, we see foothills covered with avocado and citrus groves. Those two crops make a great combination in this salad. Friends always request it. -Dorothy Kostas, Escondido, California

Tips:

Choose the freshest citrus fruits possible. Look for fruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
Use a sharp knife to segment the citrus fruits. This will help to prevent the fruit from tearing and will make the salad more visually appealing.
If you are using a citrus zester, be sure to zest the fruit before you cut it. This will help to release the essential oils and flavor of the fruit.
Toast the peanuts before adding them to the salad. This will help to enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Use a light and flavorful dressing for the salad. A simple vinaigrette or citrus dressing is a good choice.
Serve the salad immediately after making it. This will help to prevent the citrus fruits from becoming too soft or watery.

Conclusion:

This citrus salad with peanuts and avocado is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet, sour, and salty flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and textures, this salad is also a beautiful addition to any party or potluck.
