Happy Tuesday to you ! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and a fun and safe Fourth of July. A thunderstorm forced our cookout to move indoors, but luckily, the rain let up just in time for fireworks in the cul-de-sac {a tradition on our street}. And yes, here in SC it is legal to shoot your own fireworks any day of the year!
Anyway, nothing is better than a yummy fresh salad on a hot summer day. Here is a recipe {courtesy of Kraftfoods} that I love. My version uses regular dressing instead of low-fat and I’ve cut the serving size in half.
Here is a peak:
Doesn’t that look yummy?! Here is the recipe:
Orange-Avocado Salad
You’ll need mixed greens, 1 can of mandarin oranges, 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced, and 1 avocado, chopped.
Layer the greens, onions, oranges and avocados in a large bowl.
Pour 1/3 cup zesty Italian salad dressing (I prefer Kraft) over the top.
Toss salad well, adding more dressing if needed.
And that’s it! My favorite kind of recipe: easy and delish! Serve it up!
And enjoy!
This looks delicious and easy. And pretty! Your photos are gorgeous. Do you mind if I ask what kind of camera you have? We are in the market for a new one, and your photos are always so great.
Thanks and have a nice day.

I love avocados! Thanks for sharing!
OH my gosh! That looks so yummy! I'd love it if you'd come over and link this up to our Wicked Awesome Wednesday party if you get a chance. I'm going to have a look around your blog.
Speaking of the Kraft Italian dressings, just wondering if you've tried the Kraft "Free" Zesty Italian? I can't get enough of it and it's no fat and only 15 calories for 2 tbsp.! I was wary but I'm hooked now that I've tried it.
You know, I love avocados and I love madrin oranges. . . but it never would have occurred to me to put them together in a salad. This is so pretty and colorful, especially with the red onion, that I could see it for a fancy "girly" luncheon
this looks amazing!!! im sure it taste wonderful as well!!:)
