Ingredients:
5 oz Baby Spinach, washed
2 Oranges, peeled and segmented
1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds
For the Honey-Lime Dressing:
3 tbsp Lime Juice, fresh
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the Citrus: Peel the oranges and carefully segment them, removing any seeds.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, orange segments, and pomegranate seeds.
Dress and Serve: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef Tip:
Add some crunch: Toasted almonds, pecans, or walnuts make a great addition for some added texture.
Protein boost: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for a more substantial meal.
Cheese, please: A sprinkle of crumbled feta or goat cheese complements the citrus flavors beautifully.
Other citrus options: Try using grapefruit or mandarin oranges for a different twist.
