Quick Meals - Menu Planner:
** Layered Salad: Serve salad layered in parfait glasses (you can use wine glasses as well). Place a layer of orange segments on the bottom of the glass, followed by the avocado cream, then a layer of apples and then yogurt. Continue until you have used all the ingredients. Add some cinnamon graham crackers or cinnamon pita chips on the side.
** An Arranged Salad: Serve this creamy fruit recipe as follows: Instead of dicing the apples, slice them and arrange the slices and orange segments in a circle on a bed of lettuce greens on each plate. Then divide the yogurt and place in the center of each plate followed on top with a scoop of the avocado cream. Serve warm rolls or flatbread with soft butter or a cream cheese spread.
** A Simple Fruit Dessert: Serve this quick salad on a bed of bibb leaf lettuce along with lemon and/or gingersnap cookies.
