Ingredients

6 servings

•

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

Instructions

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!
