Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 2 navel oranges
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges crosswise into thin rounds or segment them as desired. Add to the salad bowl.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion. Separate the slices into rings and add them to the salad bowl.
Step 4
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool. Sprinkle over the salad.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with extra almonds if desired.
