	Ingredients
- 1 cup red onions, thinly sliced
 - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
 - 2 lb. oranges
 - 3-4 avocados (8 oz each)
 - 3 cups romaine, salad (washed and ready to serve)
 - 3 cups leafy chicory salad (washed and ready to serve)
 
Instructions
- Toss sliced red onions with red wine vinegar and sprinkle with ground pepper.
 - Set aside to marinate, tossing occasionally.
 - Peel and separate all but one of the oranges into segments. Cut segments into three or four pieces each.
 - Cut remaining orange in half. Save one half for a garnish. Squeeze out the juice from the other half into a glass or measuring cup. You will use this juice to sprinkle on the avocados.
 - Slice avocados in half lengthwise, remove pit, then peel. Cut the avocados into bite-sized chunks, place in bowl, then drizzle with juice from the reserved orange to help preserve avocado’s fresh color. Toss with any reserved orange juice, then set aside.
 - Toss torn salad greens with about one third of the dressing.
 - Divide salad greens among plates. Place orange and avocado chunks on top, garnish with marinated red onions, and the reserved oranges segments and sliced avocados.
 - Drizzle each salad with about a teaspoon of the remaining vinaigrette.
