Blood Orange Avocado Salad image

My refreshing side salad is such a nice addition to our calorie-loaded Thanksgiving dinner. Use regular oranges if you can't find blood oranges. Finely chopped walnuts work well in place of the pomegranate seeds, too. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

This salad was a disappointment. The blood oranges were too sour and the avocados were not ripe enough.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out bland. I think it needs more salt and pepper.

This salad is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add some honey to the dressing next time.

I added some grilled shrimp to this salad and it was delicious! The shrimp added a nice protein boost.

This salad was a delightful burst of flavors and textures! The blood oranges were sweet and tangy, the avocados were creamy and rich, and the arugula added a peppery bite. The dressing was a perfect complement, with its bright citrus flavor and hint
