It revolves around the exciting variety of oranges available in citrus season, each with its own flavor profile. Sweet, orange navels, puckery, reddish bloods and sweet-tart, pink cara caras are few that typically available now at the supermarket \u2013 any combination will work here.<\/p>\n

The oranges are stripped of peel and pith, then cut into rounds which, when plated, form a brilliant stained-glass-like layer. The fruit is topped with pale green, buttery slices of avocado, then drizzled with a simple, shallot-spiked lemon and olive oil dressing, and finished with a fresh, fragrant sprinkle of cilantro.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a salad that brings a welcome contrast to the deep flavors of whatever you might be roasting or simmering during the winter months, and, if you pause for a moment before you dig into it, you might just feel the warmth of the sun coming through.<\/p>\n
