Orange Avocado Spinach Salad With Orange Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients

3 oranges (2 sliced, 1 for juice) 8 ounces Baby Spinach

1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced crosswise

ORANGE-BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE:

2/3 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Slice the oranges crosswise into rounds. If your oranges are very large, cut each round in half.

Place the orange juice in a small pan and reduce over medium-high heat until the juice has concentrated to about 3 tablespoons. Place the reduced orange juice in a small jar with a lid. Add the vinegar, honey, and olive oil, and shake vigorously to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place the greens in a bowl and toss with some of the dressing to coat the leaves. Divide among 4 salad plates, or arrange the greens on a shallow platter. Arrange the orange slices and avocado wedges on each salad. Drizzle on more dressing as desired. Serve immediately.
