Ingredients
Dressing
⅓ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Salad
One bag of your favorite pre-washed, organic, leafy greens
2 mandarin oranges
2 blood oranges
5 ounces mixed baby greens
½ red onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup golden raisins
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
1 small avocado, pitted and sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Dressing
Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (Can be made ahead. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week.)
Salad
With a sharp knife, cut off rind and pith from oranges. Slice them crosswise. Set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, half of the orange slices, red onion, raisins, pine nuts and goat cheese.
Drizzle in just enough dressing to coat; do not soak. Reserve extra dressing to pass separately or save for another use.
Arrange remaining orange slices and avocado on top. Serve with extra dressing on the side. Enjoy!
