Citrus Salad


Citrus Salad Toss
I got this from my neighbor Cassie Jenkins

1 pkg of Romaine or spring mix
1 red onion, sliced
1 can Mandarin Oranges
1 pt. strawberries, cut up
2 avocados, cut up
sugared pecans

Dressing: If you are in a hurry just by a bottle of Poppy Seed Dressing it is so yummy with this salad or if you have some time make this yummy concoction!
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup lime juice
2 T orange juice
2 T sugar
1 tsp grated lime zest
1 tsp grated orange zest

For sugared pecans, mix the sugar and pecans in skillet. Cook over low heat until the sugar melts, stirring to coat well. Be patient, this can take awhile. However, you want to be vigilant because when the sugar finally melts, you have to move fast. Put on wax paper to cool.

Mix all dressing ingredients and let sit for awhile so the flavors can blend.
