I have one irresistible Avocado Citrus Salad with Lime Poppy Seed Dressing to share with you.
A sweet way to enjoy avocado is by pairing it with some citrus.
The avocado adds a creamy texture to this sweet summer salad. When combined with a creamy lime poppy seed dressing, it’s a salad that is not only beautiful, but a definite crowd pleaser.
I cut some oranges and grapefruits into little discs, then layered them with some avocados on top of a bed of leafy greens.
I whipped up a quick batch of Creamy Lime Poppy Seed Dressing in a blender, and drizzled it on top.
This salad was so light and refreshing. Even my kids couldn’t get enough of it.
And the dressing? … spoon licking good.
It’s a perfect side salad to bring along to any summer pot luck or BBQ!
Don’t forget to include those delicious avocados in your 4th of July festivities this year!

This is so pretty! What a beautiful summer salad!
What a beautiful, fresh and simple salad. I love the combination of flavors from the creamy avocado and the citrus.
Awesome.
This looks great! How on earth did you get unbroken rings of avocado rather than strips?
Hi Becca, I just cut the avocado horizontally instead of vertically, then pop out the pit like you normally would and slice the avocado with the peel still on so it’s easier. Then remove the peel and you should have little rings! It kind of switches things up a little. 🙂
Love avocado and citrus together! This is a perfect summer salad!
Thanks Jessica! I have to agree! 🙂
