Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • Juice of 2 blood oranges
  • 1/4 c. olive oil
  • 1/3 c. red wine vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • salt and pepper

For the winter salad:

  • 4 c. mixed greens
  • 2 c. baby spinach
  • 2 blood oranges divided into segments then cut in half
  • 1 carrot cut into matchsticks
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 c. walnuts chopped
  • 1/3 c. mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing in a container with an air tight lid. I like using a mason jar. Put the lid on a shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes or until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a large serving bowl combine the mixed greens and baby spinach and toss to combine.
  • Place the orange segments on top of the greens. Add the carrots and onions then sprinkle with the walnuts.
  • Lightly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Serve with the blood orange vinaigrette on the side.
