This special salad is lightly coated in a refreshing citrus dressing. I sometimes serve it with a side of cottage cheese…the taste of orange and all the cheeses will have your friends and family begging for more. Ingredients:
3 medium oranges |
1/3 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
4 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Finely grate peel of one orange; set aside. Cut the same orange in half; squeeze juice into a 1-cup measuring cup. Add the oil, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and reserved orange peel. Gradually whisk in vinegar; set aside.
2. Peel and discard white membrane from remaining oranges; cut into sections.
3. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cheeses and orange sections. Drizzle with 1/4 cup vinaigrette and toss to coat. Refrigerate remaining vinaigrette for another use. Yield: 4 servings.
