MIXED GREENS SALAD WITH ORANGE VINAIGRETTE



Mixed Greens Salad with Orange Vinaigrette image

This is the kind of salad that doesn't require much work but looks super-pretty on the table. It's great for everything from brunch to an easy dinner party. You start off with a simple base of mixed greens (pick your fave!), then toss in handfuls of fresh blueberries, mandarin segments (or any kind of sweet citrus) and crunchy spiced nuts (again, any kind you like). The dressing is an easy vinaigrette that gets a special touch from orange juice. You'll have extra dressing you can refrigerate for another day.

2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large navel oranges
8 cups mixed greens

Steps:

  • Whisk first 4 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Whisk in olive oil; season to taste with freshly ground pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender greens: Baby spinach, arugula, and mixed salad greens are all great options.
