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!

Steps:
- 1. Fill a large pot with 2 inches of salted water. Insert a steaming rack so that the lobster will not touch the water. Cover and bring to a boil. Add lobster and cover; cook 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a platter and refrigerate to cool, about 30 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a stainless steel bowl combine egg yolk and water. Whisk to combine. Add oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is emulsified and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add half of the verbena and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to let flavors combine.
- 3. Once cooled, remove lobster meat from shell, leaving claw and tail meat intact. Using a chef's knife, slice tail meat into pieces 1/2 inch thick. Transfer claws and tail meat to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons dressing and tomato strips. Toss to coat.
- 4. Place greens in a medium bowl. Drizzle olive oil them and season with salt. Toss to lightly coat. Place 1 cup tossed greens in the center of each plate. Divide tail meat and claws. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing on each plate around lobster. Garnish each plate with radish and remaining verbena. Serve immediately. (Remaining dressing should be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)

Tips:
- Choose ripe oranges: For the best flavor, use oranges that are fully ripe and juicy. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
- Use fresh herbs: Lemon balm adds a refreshing flavor to the dressing. If you don't have lemon balm on hand, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as mint or basil.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. The oranges and capsicums will start to lose their crunch if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This orange and capsicum salad with lemon balm dressing is a refreshing and flavorful side dish. It is perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks. The oranges and capsicums provide a sweet and tangy flavor, while the lemon balm dressing adds a refreshing touch. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes.
