I love avocados!!! So why not have a nice refreshing avocado salad? You can also use tomatoes as it did.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Light and refreshing, this avocado citrus salad is simple to make. The salad has creamy avocado and orange wedges to add bright flavor. With a little bite, red onions are a nice contrast. Sweet and tangy, the dressing is the perfect complement to all the flavors. A delicious salad for a light meal on a hot day. This would be a great side salad with grilled fish or chicken, too.
