This easy and delicious salad recipe is great for everyday meal planning. It can be easily doubled for larger families, or for those times when you have invited friends or extended family in for a meal. The vinaigrette is easily put together with ingredients that are usually in the kitchen, and the salad makings can be changed to fit the taste of your family and friends. The vinaigrette is slightly sweet, and with fruit and nuts added, children will love it. Enjoy!
Vinaigrette:
3 tbsps. olive oil
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tsps. orange juice concentrate
1/8 tsp. salt
Pinch of freshly ground pepper
Combine these ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well.
Salad:
4 cups salad greens of your choice. (We love a combination of fresh spinach and romaine)
Honey Roasted or Butter Toffee Glazed slivered almonds
Dried cranberries or well-drained mandarin orange segments
2 or 3 green onions, thinly sliced, or thinly sliced red onion to taste
Tear salad greens into bit-sized pieces into a salad bowl. Sprinkle almonds, cranberries and/or oranges, and onion to your liking over greens. Add some of the vinaigrette and toss. Taste to see if the salad has enough dressing for your taste. Adjust as needed.
