Greens and Herbs Salad With Orange Ginger Vinaigrette
- 1 cup red leaf lettuce
- 1 cup green lettuce
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup frisee
- 1 cup chard leaves
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 orange bell pepper, diced (large)
- 4 -8 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
- 12 English cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 red onion, sliced thin (small to medium)
- 14 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 14 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 14 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 -6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (we use reduced fat)
- 12-1 cup nuts, toasted in a dry, hot pan (walnuts, cashews, etc.)
- 1 orange, seeded, segmented and chopped (optional)
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade (chunkier is better!)
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 18 teaspoon ground ginger (I eyeball or taste this, so I'm guessing)
- 18 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, if available
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Mix greens and herbs together.
- Add celery, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and cucumber (and anything else you decided to add!
- ).
- Prepare vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients except oil.
- Add oil gradually, whisking continuously until fully emulsified.
- (Or, if you prefer, add all ingredients to a sealed container and shake thoroughly.
- ).
- If you like your lettuce "marinated", toss the vinaigrette into the salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- BEFORE SERVING: Add feta, walnuts (and oranges, if you're using them) and protein, if any, just before serving (don't toss).
- I hope you enjoy the salad as much as we do.
- It's a fresh alternative to the everyday!
