- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. For a more elegant presentation, remove the membrane from each orange segment using a small, sharp knife.
Add the orange segments, dried cranberries, and pecans to the bowl with the mixed greens.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
