Cold weather means two things: comfort foods and winter produce. We wanted to unite the two, which is what inspired these five winter avocado salads. Each recipe is packed with a variety of winter veggies, nuts, and fruits (like avocado!). Bellies, prepare to be comforted.
Sweet and satisfying, this salad made with pears, oranges, and avocados is a fresh and flavorful meal.

This recipe is stellar when paired with rotisserie chicken or roast turkey — but it’s just as enjoyable on its own.
