Spinach and Orange Salad

This looks so simple, but tastes great! The oranges make the salad really juicy, but there is a vinagerette should you wish to add it.

Spinach and Orange Salad

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh baby spinach
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 large avocado peeled, and sliced
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

Method:

1. Rinse and dry baby spinach and divide onto four plates.

2. Slice the ends of the orange off and use a knife to peel the orange. Slice in between the segments so you get only the best part of the orange.

3. Arrange the orange and avocado on the spinach and top with toasted nuts.


Dressing (optional):

In a jar, put 1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice, 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange zest, 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons salad oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, dash black pepper. Put the lid on the jar and shake well.
