MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH ORANGE DRESSING RECIPE BY TASTY



Mixed Green Salad With Orange Dressing Recipe by Tasty image

This yummy mixed green salad with orange dressing is a perfect side dish to make for a dinner party or brunch that won't break the bank. To save money, use a snack pack of honey-roasted nuts you find in the check-out aisle to add a nice crunch. The oranges work double duty--the segments go in the salad and the juice is used in the dressing.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Sides

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 oranges
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 package mixed greens
1 avocado, sliced
⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup candied nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Segment the oranges: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges so they sit flat on a cutting board. Use a knife to remove the rind of the orange, cutting carefully to remove as little flesh as possible. Use a paring knife to cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments. Transfer to a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from the scraps into a separate bowl.
  • Make the dressing: Strain the orange juice into a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup to remove any pulp and seeds. You should have about ¼ cup. Add the lemon juice and sugar. Microwave for 60 seconds, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Let cool, then whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the mixed greens to a large bowl. Add the avocado, segmented oranges, red onion, and honey-roasted nuts.
  • Just before serving, pour some of the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Add more dressing to taste.
  • Enjoy!

MIXED GREENS SALAD WITH ORANGE VINAIGRETTE



Mixed Greens Salad with Orange Vinaigrette image

This is the kind of salad that doesn't require much work but looks super-pretty on the table. It's great for everything from brunch to an easy dinner party. You start off with a simple base of mixed greens (pick your fave!), then toss in handfuls of fresh blueberries, mandarin segments (or any kind of sweet citrus) and crunchy spiced nuts (again, any kind you like). The dressing is an easy vinaigrette that gets a special touch from orange juice. You'll have extra dressing you can refrigerate for another day.

Provided by Alejandra Ramos

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons red wine or apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces mixed prewashed greens
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup peeled citrus segments (mandarins, oranges, grapefruit, etc.)
6 tablespoons spiced or candied nuts, such as almonds or pecans

Steps:

  • Make the dressing by blending the orange juice, vinegar, oil, honey, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender until very smooth. Place the greens, blueberries and citrus segments in a large salad bowl. Add dressing to taste and toss until evenly coated. (You will have extra dressing.) Garnish with the nuts and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp greens. A mix of lettuces, such as romaine, butterhead, and arugula, works well.
  • To make the orange dressing, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • To assemble the salad, toss the greens with the dressing. Top with toasted almonds, crumbled goat cheese, and orange segments.
  • Serve the salad immediately.

Conclusion:

This green salad with almonds and orange dressing is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet oranges, crunchy almonds, and creamy goat cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a healthy and easy-to-make recipe that can be ready in just 15 minutes.
