My ice cream haze has officially lifted, I’m back on the greens (thank goodness) and choosing vegan dishes for awhile. This salad is rockin’ because the oranges act as your “chicken” in this peppery and flavorful meal.
If you don’t choose watercress often, let me tell you why you should: It contains tons of anti-cancer properties, cleanses your blood, increases sexual energy (hell yeah!), gives you fresh breath and clears your complexion. Topped with the vitamin C from the oranges? Girl, you will be unstoppable!
Okay, I’m gonna quit pitching this one to you guys, I think it speaks for itself. What is better than creamy avocado, crunchy pine nuts and sweet peppered oranges? Not much. Oh, and when you think you have put enough black pepper…add a little more!
What you need:
Oranges
Arugula and Watercress mix
Pine nuts (toasted!)
Purple onion ( I skip this part because I’m an onion phobe)
Avocado
Lemon
Olive Oil
Black Pepper
Kosher Salt
How to:
Wash your greens and let them dry…with a sharp knife remove the pith from the orange (it’s that bitter white stuff that makes one of your eyes squint when you bite in to it)…toast the pine nuts under the broiler…chop up everything…drizzle olive oil, add a squeeze of lemon, sprinkle with salt and shower those oranges in black pepper!
Fill up on this beauty meal!

Love that this is vegan! I can’t wait to try it. Oranges and pepper? Yes please.
That looks crazy good especially since I am a pepper fanatic, life is just better with pepper… and chocolate!
Amazing Hailey, thank you! I’ve been looking for easy summer salads (it’s just starting to get hot here in Australia) and this is perfect!
:O
This looks DELICIOUS!!! Thank you!
