I absolutely love avocados for breakfast… and while avocado toast is a great easy option ( I have 3 avo toast recipes here!) sometime I want something a little lighter and healthier. This avocado orange salad recipe is so fresh, so clean, and SO yummy!  Made with peeled and segmented clementines, creamy diced avocado, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and topped with basil – this is one healthy breakfast idea that will make you rise and SHINE!

Easily Grow Fresh Herbs on Your Counter All Year Long

We got this great 6-Pod Aerogarden which is fantastic for growing herbs in the kitchen – especially growing fresh basil for this salad.  We actually got it when we lived in a smaller apartment, but even now that we own an acreage we still use it year-round!  I lovegrowing herbs on my countertop like fresh basil, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley, and lemon balm. It uses LED lights and water, so no messy soil needed – you can have fresh herbs at your fingertips any time. I love picking a few springs of parsley to chop on pastas, adding basil leaves to soups, and tossing some dill in with my pasta salads.This Aerogarden is a great gift for anyone who would like fresh herbs… no big kitchen or green thumb required!

Can I Put Avocado in Fruit Salad?

Absolutely!  Load it in!  Avocado is a fruit, and the creamy fatty flesh pairs really well with citrus fruits and this lime and basil dressing.

A No-Cook Salad Recipe That’s Perfect for Summer

This no-cook orange avocado salad is a quick and simple recipe.  I love a good no-cook recipe for those days when I’m not feeling like standing around the stove, or for summer nights when it’s too hot to cook. I have a whole collection of recipes that require zero cooking at all, check them out here!  This salad comes together in about 5 minutes, and doesn’t require the stove or microwave to make. Just some fresh fruit, herbs, and a few staple ingredients and you have a healthy meal ready in no time.  And very little to clean up afterwards… an added bonus!

In a large bowl, mix together the clementines, avocado, basil, and lime juice so all ingredients are well combined. Add a pinch of salt of desired.  Top with extra fresh basil before serving and enjoy!
