  • ½ cup chopped red onions Can replace with green onions for milder taste.
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro Substitute with parsley if not a fan.

  • 1 pinch salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 pinch pepper Adjust to taste.
  • ¾ teaspoon sumac Can substitute with lemon zest.
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper Adjust based on spice tolerance.
  • 1 piece lime Juiced; lemon juice can be substituted.
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Can replace with avocado oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the oranges, avocados, red onions, fresh herbs, and walnuts.
  2. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, sumac, and a pinch of cayenne.
  3. Add the lime juice and a generous drizzle of olive oil, tossing gently to combine.

Notes

For best flavor, let the salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with healthy chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for grilled chicken.
