Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Orange
- 4 cups Mixed greens
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the oranges. Peel both oranges and slice them into thin rounds. Set them aside.
Slice the red onion into thin strips. If the flavor is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes and drain before using.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the honey dressing by whisking together honey, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, orange slices, red onion, toasted walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese.
Pour the honey dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
