The oranges and avocado are a perfect pairing.

1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. minced onion

Dash paprika
8-10 c. bibb and leaf lettuce, torn into pieces
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 avocado, peeled, sliced and tossed lightly in lemon juice

For Dressing: 6 hours or more before serving, put all ingredients into a blender. Blend well and refrigerate. Just before serving, blend again.
