Salad/Soup

Orange Avocado Salad with Jicama

From Beth Smith (AZ)

3 or 4	Oranges, peeled and sectioned (I like to use Cuties)	½ c.	Orange juice
2 or 3	Avocados, peeled and cut into bite size pieces	½ c.	Chopped fresh cilantro
1	Jicama, peeled, cut into julienne strips	3 Tbsp.	Orange zest
½ c.	Italian dressing		Spring mix lettuce

Mix Italian dressing and orange juice. Shake.

Put a handful of spring mix on the salad plate. Top with orange sections, avocado slices and julienne strips of jicama. Drizzle a little dressing over all. I like to add pomegranates when in season and/or dried cranberries and candied pecans pieces. Top with orange zest and cilantro.
