- First prepare the vegetables and fruit. Slice the sweet onion into fine rings. Using a sharp knife, peel the rind and pith off the oranges, then cut the oranges into segments, reserving any juices in a small bowl. Halve the avocados, remove the stone and skin, and cut the flesh into slices.
- Next make the dressing. Add the balsamic vinegar and mustard to any reserved orange juices in a small bowl and whisk together. Then whisk in the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
