Ingredients
For the salad
- 1 orange peeled and segmented
- 1/2 cup onion thinly sliced, preferably red onion
- 1 avocado sliced
- 3 cups salad greens of your choice torn
- 1/4 cup walnuts (optional)
For the dressing
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 clove clove of garlic minced
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Segment the orange over a small bowl/plate, so you’ll not lose the juice. Squeeze any remaining juice from the peels and membranes into the bowl too.
- Combine all dressing ingredients. Whisk well until combined. Add a little balsamic vinegar if you like.
- In a large bowl, combine salad greens, orange segments, onion and avocado. Drizzle with salad dressing. Toss to combine. Top with walnuts if using.
Notes
- Leftover orange juice can be added to smoothies or take a quick vitamin shot of it while making this salad.
- Take-along tip: store dressing in a separate container and keep greens and nuts on top.
