Found this in the book At Home Cafe. I have modified it a little. It is great if you add crumbled blue cheese, mushrooms, shredded chicken and dried cranberries on top also. You can glaze the almonds and dressing ahead to save time.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
6 tablespoons dried cranberries
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
6 cups mixed baby greens
3 oranges, peel and white pith removed, segmented
3/4 cup pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup orange juice to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat.
  • Mix in dried cranberries.
  • Let stand until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain well; discard soaking juice.
  • Whisk oil, vinegar, orange peel and remaining 3 tablespoons orange juice in small bowl to blend. Mix in cranberries.
  • Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.).
  • Place greens in large bowl.
  • Toss with 2/3 of dressing.
  • Divide greens among 6 plates.

  • Top salads with orange segments and pecans.

Tips:

  • Fresh and colorful mixed greens like arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce add a vibrant base to this salad. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
  • For a zesty citrus flavor, use a combination of orange juice and zest. This brightens up the salad and pairs well with the almonds and goat cheese.
  • Toasted almonds add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. Toast them in a pan over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown.
  • Goat cheese crumbles provide a creamy and tangy contrast to the other ingredients. Feel free to substitute feta cheese or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • For a sweet and tangy dressing, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste preferences.
  • Toss the salad gently to evenly coat it with the dressing. Avoid over-mixing, as this can bruise the greens.
  • Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional orange zest and a drizzle of olive oil for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Orange Almond Mixed Green Salad is a delightful combination of fresh, zesty, and nutty flavors. The colorful mixed greens provide a vibrant base, while the orange juice, zest, and almonds add brightness and crunch.
