For a beautiful salad with an unbeatable combination of flavors, you can't miss with this recipe. We love the mellow avocado together with sweet mandarin oranges and crisp cucumber. The tangy dressing makes this dish special. It's a great summertime salad to serve with grilled meat. -Latressa Allen, Fort Worth, Texas Ingredients:

1/4 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar |

1 medium head iceberg lettuce, torn |
2 cups torn red leaf lettuce |
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced |
1/4 cup orange juice |
