1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

Success Hint: When an avocado is cut and its flesh exposed to air, it discolors quickly. So add avocados at the last minute, or brush with lemon or lime juice to minimize discoloration.
