Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and romaine)
- 1 large Orange
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Walnuts (toasted)
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Peel the orange and slice it into thin rounds, then cut each round in half to create half-moon shapes. Set aside.
Step 3
Crumble the goat cheese into small, bite-sized portions for easy distribution throughout the salad.
Step 4
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent burning. Once fragrant and golden, remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until emulsified and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Arrange the orange slices and walnuts over the bed of mixed greens, then sprinkle the goat cheese crumbles evenly on top.
Step 7
Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
