It depends on the size of the kumquats. Big ones, I'd quarter, small ones I'd halve. I haven't made this yet, but it sounds like a salad that I would love. I'm fascinated with kumquats and wasn't sure how to eat them. I make the dressing all the time for various salads. I like to add maca or blended nuts and use it in cole slaw mix with red grapes and with spinach, green apples, spring onions and arame (sea vegetable). I'm hungry, can you tell?

Looks as if it looks fantastic and tastes exotic - all that creamy avocado against the bitterness of the other two fruits...... if you were making it again would you halve the cumquats or quarter them?
