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.

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!

Grilled Mojo Chicken Salad With Asparagus and Oranges image

The flavoring mixture, which accounts for most of the ingredients, is easy to assemble and, as a bonus, serves as both meat marinade and salad dressing. Simply siphon off some of the mixture as a marinade. Whisk extra oil into the rest for a first-rate dressing.

Categories     Salad

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup orange juice concentrate
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground ginger

GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN BREASTS



Grilled Orange Chicken Breasts image

This chicken has a wonderful flavor and the citrus makes it nice and tender. Plan ahead, because it does need to marinade 1-2 hours. We enjoy using the leftover chicken on top of mixed green salads. Prep time does not include maridading. Grilling time is estimated.

Provided by Chef Buggsy Mate

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons chopped fresh orange sections
1/3 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed is best)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 teaspoons lime juice
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried oregano (I like to use Mexican Oregano for this)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; seal then lightly shake to mix.
  • Add the chicken then turn to coat well.
  • Seal and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
  • Drain and discard marinade.
  • Grill uncovered, over medium-hot coals, turning often, 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for the marinade and dressing. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-marinated. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Use a variety of greens for the salad. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad. Some good options include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
  • Add some crunch to the salad. This can be done by adding nuts, seeds, or croutons. Nuts and seeds also add healthy fats and protein to the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance.

Conclusion:

Orange Grilled Chicken with Green Salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for summer. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the salad is light and refreshing. This dish is also very easy to make, so it's perfect for busy weeknights.
