This recipe is inspired by a salad I had in Barcelona - it's delicious and fresh. Beware, the dressing has zing!
Ingredients
4 cups (or 1 large bag) salad
2 oranges, cut into segments (see note below)
1 avocado, diced
1/2 large cucumber, cut into small pieces
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
1/4 c chopped walnuts
3T dijon mustard
2T honey
4T oil
5T balsamic vinegar
handful chopped parsley for garnish
Note: To make orange segments, cut the ends off of a seedless orange just enough to expose the flesh. Place the orange end down, and cut away the peel, removing as little of the flesh as possible. Using a sharp knife, cut along the inside of the membranes that separate the orange segments, slicing only down to the center (halfway) of the orange. Continue around the entire orange, cutting out each segment, leaving behind the membrane.
Instructions
1) Place salad in a bowl, and cover with orange segments, avocado, cucumber, red onion, and walnuts. Toss gently to combine.
2) To make the dressing, mix the honey, oil, and mustard until well combined. Then add the balsamic vinegar and stir well to mix. The consistency should be even.

Hi, this recipe looks yum. I'd like to make it this weekend for a party. How many portions does the above recipe make? Thanks!
Hey - I don't usually account for portions because a lot of the time I'm feeding people with abnormally large appetites (i.e. an athlete boyfriend...) For the majority of the posts, I would say they make food for 4-6 people. I hope that helps!
