Tangy Winter Sunshine Salad
Just because it’s starting to get wintry outside, doesn’t mean we can forget about our fruit servings each day! Winter fruits are a much welcomed colorful and flavorful addition to a simple green salad. The dressing is very simple and just serves to highlight the sweet fruit topped greens.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 cups mixed salad greens
1 pink grapefruit, in segments
1 orange, in segments
1 pear, sliced
1 cup grapes, seedless
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Pour the olive oil, orange juice and vinegar into a small bowl. Whisk slightly to combine. Add the honey and whisk briskly until the honey is completed blended in. Sprinkle in the pepper and stir to incorporate the ingredients together.
Place the salad greens on a plate. Top the greens with the grapefruit segments, orange segments, pear slices, grapes and cranberries. Drizzle the dressing over the entire salad.
