    Orange and Greens Salad with Orange Vinaigrette

    Aug 3, 2021 · 9 Comments

    This is a simple, sweet, and delicious salad made with oranges and mixed greens with bold citrus flavors drizzled with Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette . The orange from both salad and dressing makes it divine. This is vegan too. This is one of the best way to eat fresh veggies from farmers market or from your local stand.
    Mixed greens provide excellent vitamins and antioxidants and this is a very healthy salad. The cucumbers and toasted nuts give the crunch with lovely bites of sweet grape tomatoes. This salad is perfect for summer or for any day. 

    The orange balsamic vinaigrette enhances the flavor of the salad and us very simple to make. The dressing can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days and is great for make-ahead options. 


    Mixed greens will always be there in my bag after farmers market trip along with different kind of peppers, tomatoes, and squash along with season’s fruits. We love the oranges from farmers market and would always get a bag. Sometimes at the closing time, they give for a couple of dollars less too! Those oranges are SWEET! Thus is my second post for #farmersmarketweek in our festive foodies group and I have shared Asparagus and Coconut Stir-Fry, another frequently made food in our home.

    Farmer’s Market Week is always the first week in August. Whether you have a great local farm stand or market, are a member of a CSA or purchase your fruits and vegetables at the supermarket, follow our Pinterest board, for great recipes including those for appetizers, drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and more.

      I just love the freshness of citrus in a vinaigrette and orange is so underutilized. This salad looks amazing and I can't wait to try the vinaigrette!

      This vinaigrette sounds perfect. A salad dressed in this certainly wouldn't last long around this house.
