Begin by making the orange vinaigrette so that all of the ingredients have time to macerate together in a little container you can seal and shake.

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower, florets cut to bite-size
1 lb broccoli, florets cut to bite-size
2 seedless oranges, peeled and sliced thinly
1 avocado, peeled and sliced or diced (optional)
1 recipe Orange Vinaigrette

Instructions

1. Peel the oranges either by hand or with a knife, removing all the hanging white piths. Then, slice it thinly cross-wise. (If the oranges are not seedless, pick the seeds out of the slices.) Set aside.
2. Chill florettes in the refrigerator for an hour or more.
3. Peel the avocado and slice in thin wedges.
4. Transfer the florets to a serving dish, interleave with orange slices and avocado wedges.
5. Give the vinaigrette another good shake and pour on top.
