Citrus salad is one of those bright little dishes that can wake up a whole meal. Sweet orange segments bring juicy freshness, and avocado adds a creamy bite that keeps it satisfying. It comes together fast, which makes it perfect for busy lunches and weeknight dinners. You can serve it plain with mint or dress it lightly with olive oil and a pinch of salt. The color alone makes the plate feel more inviting. This is especially handy in colder months when citrus is at its best and needs very little help. It pairs beautifully with grilled proteins, grain bowls, and soups. If you want extra crunch, a sprinkle of seeds or nuts works well on top. The flavor is clean, bright, and easy to adjust to your taste. This is a simple country-kitchen side that feels fresh, cheerful, and easy to repeat.
