The perfect combination of avaocado, coriander (cilantro), tomato, onion, chili, and lime that’s super chunky and super easy to make. Whoa!

Orange, Spinach and Pine Nut Salad
A delicious and quick salad for winter that is the perfect combination of sweet, bitter and crunchy. Great alongside a homemade pizza or big bowl of pasta! I call this my SUNSHINE SALAD! I know, it’s a little cheesy but at the end of winter it’s so nice to have this bright little salad…
