Mango and Avocado Spinach Salad

Looking for something quick and different in the salad department. This might be just what you are looking for.

It is a great replacement for the generic iceberg with cukes and tomato offering up a range of complex flavors.

Dressing

1/3 cup orange juice
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
kosher salt or sea salt
fresh cracked pepper

To prepare the dressing - whisk all ingredients above together. Add salt and pepper to taste

Salad

10 cups baby spinach leaves (about 8 ounces)
1 1/2 cups radicchio - torn into bite-size pieces
8-12 small red radishes - sliced
1 small ripe mango, sliced
1 medium ripe avocado, sliced

Preparation

1) Just before serving, combine spinach, radicchio, radishes and mango in a large bowl

2) Add the dressing and toss to coat salad - avoid over dressing (start with less - you can always add more)

3) Top with a serving of sliced avocado
