The Kitchen Sink Salad

Submitted by Emily Sherinian


Dressing:
2/3 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons vinegar (red wine, cider, white, or rice- anything but balsamic)
1-2 teaspoons grated orange zest (try not to skip this, it's really good)
I packet of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix
3/4 to 1 cup of oil (I usually mix veggie and olive oils)

The dressing will keep in the fridge for a while, but bring it to room temp for serving.

Salad: (This is flexible; put in whatever you have and like!)

Your favorite greens-- romaine, mixed mesclun, baby spinach, arugula, whatever

crumbled feta cheese (or bleu cheese or goat cheese)

slivered red onion or scallions,

seasonal fruit (apples, strawberries, kiwi, sliced grapes, nectarine, plum, pear etc.)

cucumber (peeled and sliced- you can also add orange or yellow pepper for color/crunch)

candied almonds (or any other kind of nut you like- pecans, walnuts, macadamias)

craisins (or raisins or dried cherries or dried apricots)
