Dressing: Orange Vinaigrette
Using fresh squeezed orange, orange zest, and a few other complimentary ingredients, we are topping this salad with a sweet and tangy orange vinaigrette!
What You Will Need
FOR SALAD
- orange
- arugula
- cucumber
- avocado
- chickpeas
FOR DRESSING
- orange zest
- orange juice
- olive oil
- onion
- vinegar
- honey
- dijon mustard
- salt & pepper
Recipe Notes
- Feel free to add another protein like chicken, fish, etc. to make this more filling.
- The more ripe your orange, the better the vinaigrette will taste! If the juice is not very sweet, you can just add more honey.
- You can replace the orange slices with any type of citrus you like. I recommend grapefruit.
- This salad will keep better in the fridge if you only use dressing on the portion you are eating. Just keep it in a jar alongside the salad in the fridge.
