I think I'm ready for warm weather and BBQ season, this salad would be delicious as a side at a BBQ!
Cara Cara Orange Spinach Salad
via Costco cookbook
Vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp sea salt or kosher salt
¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
½ cup extra light virgin olive oil
Salad:
4 cups baby spinach
2 cups bite sized romaine lettuce
5 sliced strawberries
1 ½ Cara Cara oranges (navel or Valencia can be substituted)
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese or Gorgonzola cheese
Preparation:
To prepare the vinaigrette, whisk together salt, pepper, vinegar in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Place greens in a salad bowl. Add sliced strawberries. Remove peel from the whole orange, slice into rounds and then slice in half. Add to the greens and strawberries. Squeeze the ½ orange over all ingredients in the bowl. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to moisten. Serve immediately.
Note: I love this salad it is so refreshing and light. Cara Cara oranges have a deep pink/orange pulp, very good! They remind me of blood oranges. Enjoy!
