Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the greens, sliced oranges, feta, radishes, and half of the pomegranate arils. Drizzle over the avocado oil and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, and half of each of the chia seeds and hemp hearts. Toss to coat.

Recipe Notes
Just before filling the avocados with the salad mixture, brush some lemon juice over each half to prevent them from oxidizing.
