Orange, Date & Avocado Salad + Big Love April
Here is a stunning but simple citrus and avocado salad to bid farewell to winter. And a Big Love list with links to things we like right now.
15 minutes
Serves 2
15 minutes
Serves 2
1 blood orange (or regular)
1 pink grapefruit
1 avocado
2 winter tomatoes
1 spring onion
2 tbsp of your best olive oil
a handful toasted hazelnuts
2 soft dates
1 sprig fresh mint
1/2 tsp sumac
1 tbsp tahini
bread, to serve
Here is a quick video where I show how to make the salad
Depending on the situation we sometimes make it even simpler, with just orange, dates, nuts and avocado. And sometimes more sustaining with the addition of crumbled or baked feta cheese, cooked quinoa or another grain, any leafy greens, lentils or chickpeas.
Preparation
1. Trim off the ends of the grapefruit and cut off the peel. Cut out the segments along the membrane.
2. Peel the orange and cut into thick slices.
3. Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Cut into thick slices.
4. Cut the tomatoes into wedges.
5. Finely chop the spring onion.
Plating
6. Drizzle olive oil over a serving plate.
7. Arrange the orange, grapefruit, avocado and tomatoes in layers on the plate.
8. Tear the dates and place them on top.
9. Sprinkle spring onion, hazelnuts and mint over the salad.
10. Finish with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of sumac (or aleppo pepper). If you like tahini, that is also great on top.
11. Serve with bread to soak up the juices.

This recipe sounds easy and quick to make, with a refreshing mix of citrus and natural sweetness. The combination of orange, grapefruit, avocado, and dates looks delicious and nourishing, especially with the added texture from hazelnuts and mint. I love the idea of serving it with bread to soak up all those vibrant flavors. I can't wait to try it—perfect for a light, refreshing starter! Thank you for sharing! https://justfoodandlife.com/
