Orange-Kiwi-Avocado Salad (Recipe)

Ingredients

4 large oranges

Lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon honey

1/4 cup walnut or salad oil

2 large avocados

4 kiwi fruit

Steps

1. Peel the oranges.  To section an orange, use a sharp paring knife to remove the white membrane.  Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut into the center of each orange between one section and the membrane.  Turn the knife and cut along the other side of the section next to the  membrane, as shown.  Continue until all of the oranges are sectioned.

2. Measure the reserved orange juice.  Add enough lime juice to make 1/2 cup.  Add the salt, honey and oil.  Beat the dressing with a wire whisk until it is combined.

3. Cut lengthwise through one avocado around the pit.  With your hands, twist the avocado halves in opposite directions to separate them.  Tap the pit with the blade of a sharp knife so that the knife catches in the pit.  Carefully rotate the knife to loosen the pit.  Repeat with the second avocado.  Slice the avocados.  Peel and slice the kiwi fruit.

4. Arrange the orange sections and avocado and kiwi slices on salad plates.  Drizzle half of the dressing over the salads.  Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

Tips:

For an extra-special touch, serve this fruit salad on a bed of greens.  Kale, salad savory or romaine lettuce would be especially effective.

Naval oranges result in prettier sections because you don't have to remove seeds.
