Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Spring mix greens
- 2 whole Oranges
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the spring mix greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges into segments, or cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the salad bowl.
Rinse and drain the blueberries. Add them to the bowl with the greens and oranges.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool before adding to the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the citrus vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients right before serving. Toss gently to combine and evenly coat the greens.
Serve immediately as a fresh and healthy appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
