Next week’s baskets include some great navel oranges and ruby red grapefruits, so we wanted to put together a dish that really showcases these stellar citrus. Avocado really balances out the flavors and the farm-fresh cilantro takes it up a notch.
This bright salad is an easy winter go-to and pairs nicely with fish or pork.
