Christmas Salad

I first ate this beautiful salad at a women's Christmas brunch at church & I was blown away. It was like a bruschetta, served on toasted baguettes..


Yummo. The combo of avocado, orange, pomegranate, cilantro..amazing flavor & a totally beautiful sight. 

This Christmas, I made a salad version for our family Christmas dinner & it was a keeper for sure.... 


First, begin with...

Orange vinaigrette: 
3T olive oil
1T Juice from an orange
3/4 t dijon
1 tsp honey
Kosher salt (good pinch)
Fresh cracked pepper


Next, prepare the other ingredients to toss in...

2 heads of Romaine lettuce
1 pomegranate, slice in half. Hammer back of pomegranate to drop seeds out. Be careful of bright, staining juice. Rinse seeds.
2 Avocados, diced
1/3 Cilantro bundle, chopped
1-2 Cutie Clementines, peeled & diced, 1/2 mixed into vinaigrette
1 small block of Gouda (4 oz.), diced. Any other mild, creamy, white cheese will do too.





Toss just minutes before...and enjoy!
