Ingredients

• 6 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, romaine)
• 2 large navel oranges
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Peel the navel oranges, removing all the white pith. Slice the oranges into rounds or segments, and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the red onion thinly and add it to the salad bowl with the greens.

Step 4

Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the heat and let them cool.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh orange juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad greens, oranges, and onions. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Top the salad with the toasted almonds just before serving to maintain their crunch.
