Avocado Citrus Salad
We have a 2-1/2-acre avocado grove. It's located on a high slope just north of town. In the distance, we see foothills covered with avocado and citrus groves. Those two crops make a great combination in this salad. Friends always request it.8-10 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 20 min.
