My refreshing side salad is such a nice addition to our calorie-loaded Thanksgiving dinner. Use regular oranges if you can't find blood oranges. Finely chopped walnuts work well in place of the pomegranate seeds, too. —Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada



Test Kitchen Tips
  • The acid from the citrus keeps the avocados from browning while the salad chills.
  • This recipe is versatile: Regular olive oil also works well; skip the cardamom (although we loved it!) if you don't have it on hand; and use dried cranberries in place of pomegranate seeds.
