Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, romaine)
- 2 large navel oranges
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup toasted almonds (optional)
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the navel oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into segments and remove any seeds. Set the segments aside.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. If desired, soak the slices in cold water for 5–10 minutes to reduce their sharpness, then drain and pat dry.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined.
Add the orange segments and red onion slices to the salad greens in the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat the ingredients evenly.
If using, sprinkle toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese over the top for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this bright and zesty salad!
