Orange Walnut Salad (Paula Deen) image

This is as pretty as it is easy. The sweet and sour salad dressing would be delicious on a variety of other salads as well. Paula Deen made this on Food Network and it looked so delicious I had to try it right away! This recipe is large enough for a big dinner party, but don't be afraid to rescale for a smaller group.

Time 35m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 heads bibb lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 lbs fresh spinach, cleaned and torn into bite size pieces
3 oranges, peeled, sectioned, and seeded
3/4 medium red onion, sliced and separated into rings
3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (I used pecan halves)
3 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3/4 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons grated onions

Steps:

  • In large salad bowl, combine lettuce, spinach, oranges and onion.
  • Melt butter and sauté walnuts until lightly browned (this will just take 2 or 3 minutes).
  • Sprinkle over lettuce mixture.
  • To make dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a jar, shake well and chill in refrigerator.
  • Shake again before serving.
  • Hint: To cut oranges so there is no membrane--cut peel and outer membrane off with paring knife.
  • Cut orange in half across segments.
  • Slip knife around and free each segment from membrane.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. It's just as good, if not better, the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of oranges, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it really balances out the tartness of the oranges.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges in my fridge, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

This salad is a delightful mix of sweet and savory flavors. The oranges provide a refreshing brightness, while the walnuts add a satisfying crunch. The dressing is light and tangy, and perfectly complements the other ingredients.
