Friends served us this wonderful salad when we were vacationing in Arizona. My husband particularly liked the fresh-tasting citrus-flavored dressing, and asked me to be sure to get the recipe. It's since become one of our family's favorites. We think it's especially good served with a chicken casserole. Ingredients:
salad dressing: |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons sugar |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
salad: |
3 heads boston lettuce, torn |
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced |
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced |
1 small red onion, sliced and separated into rings |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained or fresh orange sections |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk salad dressing ingredients; set aside. Arrange the lettuce, cucumber, avocado, onion and oranges on individual plates. Drizzle with dressing just before serving. Yield: 6 servings.
