I live in Orange County and, as you might guess by our county's name, there are plenty of orange trees here. This salad is one of my favorite ways to use this delightful fruit. It makes a nice light supper on a hot day. Ingredients:
vinaigrette: |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons honey |
1-1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
salad: |
1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional |
4 cups torn romaine |
2 large oranges, peeled and sectioned |
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk the vinaigrette ingredients; set aside.
2. In a large skillet, stir-fry steak in oil for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
3. In a large bowl, toss romaine, oranges, strawberries and steak. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Top with walnuts if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
