Blood Orange & Avocado Salad

with goat cheese crumbles, toasted almonds, sesame seeds and a spiced honey yogurt dressing

The New Year is here and the cold season has struck me down … it’s time for me to lighten up and eat something beautiful to help get me healthy again. I stopped at the grocery store on the way back from yoga today and these blood oranges were calling to me. So I picked up a bag and brought them home. I was too exhausted to do much with them, but I figured I need to eat something and citrus fruit is what my body needs right now, so I fixed a simple but lovely little salad.

Now if only I had the energy to make soup … maybe after a nap. Maybe a hot bath first, then a nap. That sounds about perfect.
