Avocado Blood Orange Salad

Recipe from Cafecreosote:

This “super salad” makes a small meal in itself.The combination of ingredients may sound awfully weird, but they do work.

If you can’t find blood oranges, plain ones will do.

1 jalapeno chile pepper, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
3 medium blood oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 teaspoon wine vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup diced avocado
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled

1. Wash and dry lettuce, then tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.Add corn kernels. In a small bowl, mix jalapeno, cilantro, oranges, wine vinegar, add salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. Toss together vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger
root, oil, and salt substitute.

Pour over salad and mix well. Place lettuce over 6 appetizer plates.
