Sometimes when we deviate, just a touch, from our norm, the results are so good we can't wait to use it as a springboard for other directions. This salad turned out so well, I was shocked! I can also vision the basics of this salad with chopped apple, grated raw beet, sliced strawberries, chopped walnuts, sprouts, finely diced celery heart and greens. . .ahhh, endless possibilities! Not all in one salad, but several interesting combinations. For today though, this is what happened:
- 1 big handful of fresh spinach - stemmed and torn
- 1 Cutie or Halo - tiny mandarin orange
- 2T± very thinly sliced mandarin orange peel
- a few thin slices of a big sweet onion
- 2 radishes - thinly sliced
- 1 med. carrot - cut in half then sliced thin
- 1 sm.-med. avocado - chopped
Tear the spinach, quarter the peeled orange then slice the quarters. Add the peel, and all the other ingredients and toss gently. Drizzle everything with a good amount of EVOO, salt and pepper and a big splash of fruity white balsamic vinegar. Toss again and serve. This makes 1 big salad or 2 side salads. . .Lin
Yum!
