Asian Spinach Salad With Orange & Avocado

2 Tbs finely chopped shallots
2 Tbs seasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbs vegetable oil
2 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 tsp (generous) Asian sesame oil
1 navel orange
1 6oz bag baby spinach leaves
1 Pinkerton or Fuerte avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

1) Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.
2) Cut off peel and white pith from orange. Cut orange into 1/3-inch rounds; cut rounds crosswise in half. Add spinach to dressing; toss to coat. Add avocado and orange; toss gently.

Review: I had made a similar recipe (here) awhile back and decided oranges in my salad were ok. This was a pretty tasty salad that was similar to the one I mentioned. However, this had a pleasant Asian flavor to mix it up. Yum.
