Directions

Step 1

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

Peel the oranges and cut them into bite-sized segments, removing any seeds. Add the orange segments to the salad bowl with the greens.

Step 3

Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad along with the dried cranberries and toasted almonds.

Step 5

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Step 6

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy!
