Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 oranges
• 1 (5 ounce) package mixed salad greens

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife, remove all of the peel and pith from the citrus fruit. To section each fruit, cut between the membrane and flesh of each fruit and remove the flesh. You should have 2 cups fruit. After sectioning, squeeze the leftover membranes over a bowl to reserve the juice.

Step 2

Combine 3 tablespoon of reserved fruit juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a screw top jar. Close and shake vigorously to combine.

Step 3

Arrange mixed greens, Swiss chard, orange, grapefruit, and clementine sections, red onion, avocado, and cashews on a large serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.
