Recipe of the week: Avocado and citrus salad for $3.53/person (with sale items from Safeway)

This salad is one of my favorites :)  I adapted it from this book: Absolutely Avocado.  I eat it as a light meal, but you can add chunks of chicken if you want something hardier.

Approximate total cost: $7.06 for two or $3.53 per person + pantry items.

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1 Tbsp mustard

1 Tbsp fresh dill

2 large oranges 79¢/lb

1 grapefruit 79¢ each

1 purple onion, peeled ~$2/lb

2 avocados, diced: 50¢ each

1 head romaine lettuce: $1.69 each

Dressing: Combine olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and dill.  Blend well.

Peel the oranges and grapefruit.  Separate into segments and cut into bite-size chunks.  Slice half the onion into thin rings and dice the other half.  Place the oranges, grapefruit, diced onion and avocados in a bowl.  Stir the dressing and pour it over the salad.  Toss gently.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Line a serving dish with crisp lettuce and pile the salad in the center.  Scatter the separated onion rings over the top.

Notes:

- Prices are for Safeway Nov 11 - 17th

- Calculation for 2 people: 2lbs oranges ($1.58) + 1 grapefruit (79¢) + 1lb onion ($2) + 2 avocados ($1) + 1 head lettuce ($1.69) = $7.06
