More salad ... Baby Spinach, Avocado and Orange Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

We are back with more salad...  recently we just made another salad ... quite good and appetizing.  Good as starter.  We call it Baby Spinach, Avocado and Orange Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette.

To make the vinaigrette, this is how we do it.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
lime & orange zest
salt
honey to taste
1 big teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil

Mix everything up... so simple

for the vege part, we used

1 bag of baby spinach
1 no of romaine lettuce heart
2 large avocado
1/4 red onion (thinly sliced and soak in iced water for 30minutes)
segments of 3 oranges

...and mix everything up... eat immediately.

A few days later, using the same vinaigrette, we made another different version of it using only romaine lettuce, strawberries, avocado and some lotus seed for some texture contrast.

It's pretty good.  give it a try.
