I just hosted a bridal luncheon and was going through my stash of recipes and found this gem. Perfect to serve this time of year when fresh berries are plentiful. It is super simple to prepare, can be made ahead and absolutely delicious. This Avocado Fruit Salad is going to be one of my stand-by recipes for this summer. I have included a few photos of the event; look for more recipes from this luncheon soon on the blog.
Avocado Fruit Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup fresh red raspberries
- 3 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced thin
- 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced thin
- 1/3 cup fresh mint, minced
- DRESSING
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
-
Arrange avocado slices, mango and berries in a large shallow bowl. Mix dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake until well blended. Pour a small amount over the avocados (this will prevent the avocado from browning, at this point you can refrigerate and hold the fruit salad until serving). When ready to serve, drizzle with remaining dressing and top with mint.
