Citrus Avocado Salad

So I accidentally left my phone at work yesterday. I got home and it wasn’t in my purse. And it totally freaked me out. And I was too tired to go all the way back and get it so I left it. And then I spent the next 14 hours without my phone. I totally annoyed my husband with my complaining. I had Candy Crush withdrawal. Oh the tragedy!

Ok, enough about my technology addiction and onto this light and delicious salad.

Who says salads HAVE to be packed with greens? Not this girl. Salads can go so many different ways and this citrus avocado version is a summer favorite for me!

I love the sweet and tangy flavor from the orange paired with the creamy avocado. And then the lemon honey dressing makes it all even better! Nothing beats fresh citrus and perfect avocados this time of year. I would not say that this salad is super sweet despite using the orange and the honey in the dressing. If you are not a fan though, you can certainly omit the honey from the dressing!

I was a little lazy with segmenting my orange because I just wanted to get to the part where I got to eat this lovely little salad!
