SPRING SUNSHINE SALAD RECIPE image

Categories     Salad     Lettuce

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 to 8 handfuls mixed salad greens or butter lettuce, washed and dried well (I used baby romaine this morning)
1 or 2 medium oranges, torn into pieces, pith removed (I used cara cara oranges this morning)
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 cup or so toasted nuts (sliced almonds, pine nuts, etc)
1/2 cup sliced spring onions
About 1/3 cup Citrus Parmesan Dressing (below)
Citrus Parmesan Dressing
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
2T white wine vinegar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or half reg. + half lemon oil)
2 pinches of both salt + pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and dry your salad greens well and place them in a large bowl. Add the oranges, nuts, and onion. Toss well with the Citrus Parmesan Dressing (below). Add the avocado and give the salad one last light toss, be gentle � you don�t want the avocado to disintegrate. Sprinkle with a few shavings of Parmesan - you can make nice thick curls using a vegetable peeler. Dressing: In a medium bowl (or Mason jar) combine the grated Parmesan, orange zest and juice, and the shallots. Whisk in the white wine vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil and finish by seasoning with salt and pepper. Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Other ideas: -Gently heat the dressing and toss with spinach, for a warm, slightly wilted dinner salad. -Use the vinaigrette as a marinade. -Use it to toss with pasta (stuffed cheese filled pasta is an especially good choice).

I'm not really a salad person, but this one is actually pretty good.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still edible, but it wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be.

I'm not a huge fan of salads, but this one is actually really good. The dressing is what makes it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few odds and ends in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use them up.
