Mixed Greens with Avocado and Citrus

Healthy fats in the avocado and olive oil aid absorption of lycopene, lutein and other antioxidants in the greens and pepper.

Makes four 1½ c. servings.

4 c. mixed greens
1 ripe avocado, sliced or cubed
1 c. citrus segments (orange or grapefruit)
½ red pepper, sliced into ¼” strips 
2 T. Olive Oil Dressing

•    Wash and spin dry the salad greens.
•    Prepare citrus segments by peeling fruit, cutting into ¼ inch slices and then quartering slices. 
•    Slice red pepper into ¼ inch strips.
•    Arrange greens on plates. Add citrus and red pepper.
•    Slice and arrange avocado on top of greens. Drizzle salad with ½-1 T. of olive oil vinaigrette and serve immediately.  (If serving is delayed, brush avocado with lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.)
