Orange, Tomatoes and Avocado Salad
A juicy and zesty salad with sweet oranges, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, sharp red onions, aromatic mint and savory manchego under a punchy dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet oranges supremed
- 2-3 ripe plum tomatoes sliced into 0.5cm circles
- 1 avocado sliced into 0.5cm semi circles
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp chopped mint leaves
- A few shavings of mature manchego optional
- Freshly ground black pepper to finish
For the dressing:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp rock salt
Instructions
- Place sliced red onion into a small bowl filled with ice cold water and soak for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic and salt.
- Add the onions and the tomatoes to the bowl and mix to combine.
- Add orange wedges, avocado and chopped mint and give it a gentle mix.
- Transfer the salad onto a serving plate.
- Top with shaved manchego and season with a couple of grinds of black pepper mill.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- This salad doesn't last well in the fridge as the dressing will make avocado turn mushy. If preparing beforehand, keep the ingredients separately and combine just before serving.
