    List of Ingredients




    Citrus Salad With California Avocados

    Ingredients:
    • 3 6-inch corn tortillas
    • 4 oranges
    • 4 grapefruits
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
    • 1 sliced ripe California avocado

    Recipe



    Directions:
    Cut tortillas in half and slice into very thin strips. Bake the strips by placing on a cookie sheet and baking in a preheated 325 F oven for 7-8 minutes. Grate the oranges to obtain 2 teaspoons of rind for each serving. Peel oranges and grapefruits, section and seed.
    In a large bowl, mix honey, raspberry vinegar, orange and grapefruit sections. Add orange rinds and tortilla strips. Top with avocado slices.
