The best time to eat citrus fruits is definitely in the winter. The oranges are always bursting with juicy sweetness. This winter salad will make your tastebuds so happy with all the variety of flavors. The juicy citrus, the creamy avocado, and the refreshing mint all combine so well together and taste amazing. This dish can be made several hours ahead since the oranges keep the avocado from browning.
