MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH ORANGE DRESSING RECIPE BY TASTY
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.

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!
