MARCH FORTH! SALAD WITH ORANGE-POPPY SEED VINAIGRETTE



March Forth! Salad With Orange-Poppy Seed Vinaigrette image

Vinaigrette recipe adapted from yankeemagazine.com. Best prepared at least one hour in advance of serving. The salad recipe is my quick invention this afternoon to use produce on hand in the refrigerator. I stumbled upon small organic parsnips recently and was very excited to find them! If you cannot find small parsnips (no more than 5" long), you're better off omitting them from the recipe. Created on 4 March 2009.
