Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing salad combining juicy blood oranges, creamy avocado, fresh mint, and crunchy microgreens, perfect for a light meal or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium blood oranges, peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium ripe but firm avocados, sliced or cubed
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup microgreens (mix of arugula, radish, or pea shoots)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blood oranges by peeling and segmenting them, removing peel, pith, and membranes to release juicy slices.
  2. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, then slice or cube the flesh. Toss avocado cubes gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Rinse and pat dry the mint leaves, then roughly chop them.
  4. Rinse microgreens gently under cold water and spin dry or pat dry with paper towels.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine blood orange segments, avocado, chopped mint, and microgreens.
  6. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and honey (if using). Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to coat ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl or plates immediately and serve.

Notes

To keep avocado from browning, toss with lemon juice immediately after slicing and add avocado just before serving. Assemble salad just before serving to keep microgreens fresh. Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option. Microgreens can be replaced with baby arugula or baby spinach if unavailable.
