Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 large avocado, peeled, and cut into 1/2
1 c steamed asparagus, cut into 1" lengths
1 c orange segments, zest the orange and reserve.
VINAIGRETTE
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic
2 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp orange zest
1/4 to 1/3 c oil, vegetable or evoo
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Steam the asparagus until crisp-tender and plunge into cold water to stop cooking. Zest the orange and then peel and cut into segments, (catch any juice in a bowl and also squeeze any remaining juice from what is left after segmenting). Peel and seed the avocado and cut into chunks.
2. Place all of the salad ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside to make vinaigrette.
3. In a small bowl, whisk all vinaigrette ingredients together except salt,pepper and oil. Whisk oil in slowly until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. If the oranges are tart, you might want to add a little sugar. Or you may want to increase mustard slightly. Just make it to your taste.
4. Toss salad ingredients with some of the dressing to coat, and serve as is or on a small bed of greens. Pass any remaining dressing.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for ripe, colorful vegetables and herbs.
Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette or dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the vegetables. Too much dressing will weigh the salad down and make it soggy.
Toss the salad gently: Use a light hand when tossing the salad to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Serve the salad immediately: Salads are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, dress it just before serving.

Conclusion:

The Green and Gold Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
