MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH ORANGE DRESSING RECIPE BY TASTY



Mixed Green Salad With Orange Dressing Recipe by Tasty image

This yummy mixed green salad with orange dressing is a perfect side dish to make for a dinner party or brunch that won't break the bank. To save money, use a snack pack of honey-roasted nuts you find in the check-out aisle to add a nice crunch. The oranges work double duty--the segments go in the salad and the juice is used in the dressing.

Categories     Sides

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 oranges
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 package mixed greens
1 avocado, sliced
⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup candied nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Segment the oranges: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges so they sit flat on a cutting board. Use a knife to remove the rind of the orange, cutting carefully to remove as little flesh as possible. Use a paring knife to cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments. Transfer to a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from the scraps into a separate bowl.
  • Make the dressing: Strain the orange juice into a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup to remove any pulp and seeds. You should have about ¼ cup. Add the lemon juice and sugar. Microwave for 60 seconds, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Let cool, then whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the mixed greens to a large bowl. Add the avocado, segmented oranges, red onion, and honey-roasted nuts.
  • Just before serving, pour some of the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Add more dressing to taste.
  • Enjoy!
