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.

Provided by Katie Aubin

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!

CRUNCHY GREENS WITH CARROT-GINGER DRESSING



Crunchy Greens With Carrot-Ginger Dressing image

This recipe draws inspiration from the sunny-orange flavor of green salads with carrot-ginger dressing at Japanese American restaurants. The pulpy, aromatic dressing may be the star, but a salad is only as good as its lettuce. After washing and thoroughly spin-drying the greens in a salad spinner (alternatively, you can pat them dry in a clean kitchen towel), one way to maximize their crunch before adding the dressing is to refrigerate them, covered, for at least 30 minutes. Little Gem has a sweet, juicy sturdiness, but regular packaged mixed greens, baby spinach and chopped romaine hearts work, too.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, weeknight, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt
2 to 4 heads Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated, or 1 romaine heart, chopped
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a food processor, purée the carrot, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, onion powder, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water until as smooth as possible, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dress the salad: Place the lettuce leaves in a large serving bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and toss, then add more as needed to evenly coat. The salad should be lightly dressed, not drowned; don't use every drop of dressing if you don't need to. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt as desired. Top the salad with the mint leaves and serve immediately.
