Avocado and Chard salad with Tangerine aroma

Insalata di Avocato e Bieta aromatizzata al Mandarino

The perfect way to include the Citrus peel in your diet!
The tangerine peel is the star of this recipe, it gives a fresh citrus taste to the entire dish and, together the other vegetables, provides an high quantity of vitamins and fibers. I suggest to crumble the tangerine peel with the garlic masher.

It’s a quick and easy meal, so different from the most popular salads.
