Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh arugula
- 2 Oranges
- 1 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Toasted almonds
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and dry the arugula thoroughly, then place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges into thin rounds or segments and set them aside.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the arugula in the mixing bowl.
Step 4
Prepare the vinaigrette: in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the arugula and onions. Toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
Step 6
Add the orange slices to the salad and gently toss again to distribute them evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the feta cheese and toasted almonds over the top of the salad as a garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
