The combination of avocado and citrus isn’t particularly novel, but that doesn’t keep it from being welcome in the winter. Though the salad is dead simple to make, its success relies on a nice assortment of citrus. You want a combination of sweet and tart varieties; beyond that, the specifics are unimportant. Choose avocados that yield to slight pressure at the stem end; if you’re unsure about their ripeness (selecting ripe avocados is not a strength of mine), buy one or two more than you need as an insurance policy. <br /> <br />Cutting the avocados and citrus into different shapes isn’t essential, but it does prevent the salad from looking too flat on the plate. (God is in the details! Or so they say.) If you can find Meyer lemons, use their juice in the vinaigrette.
