This salad is an interesting marriage of sweet and savory flavors and creamy and juicy textures. Sweet grapefruit makes an equally delicious substitution for the oranges. For a heftier appetizer, top with a few grilled prawns.

1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced

2 medium seedless navel oranges, peeled and segmented

4 Tbsp. Tahini Yogurt Sauce (see below)

1 Tbsp. chopped parsley or fresh cilantro, for garnish

1 tsp. lightly toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Arrange the avocado slices alternately with orange segments on four salad plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon Tahini Yogurt Sauce over each salad. Garnish with the parsley or cilantro and sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Serves 4.

Note: If the sauce is too thick to drizzle, you may need to add a teaspoon or two of water.
