Ingredients

1/3 cup roughly chopped toasted walnuts
2 medium oranges
8 ounces mesclun greens
2 shallots, cut into thin rings
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch sugar
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the walnuts on a small baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly colored, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool then roughly chop. Set aside.

Cut away the peels from the oranges. Over a small bowl, segment the oranges, catching any juices.

In a large bowl, combine the greens, orange segments, and shallot rings.

In a small bowl, add the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the reserved orange juice and whisk to combine. Pour over the salad, tossing to coat evenly. Add the goat cheese and walnuts and toss. Adjust the seasoning, to taste, and serve.

Love it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Have made this about 10 times- for holidays, lunch, and just family dinner. It gets rave reviews. If I'm in a hurry I... substitute Dole mandarin oranges in the plastic jar, and use a tbs of the liquid in the dressing. Saves a lot of time and is still great!Read more

BEST SALAD EVER!

I'm not a salad-lover, but this one was great! Even my husband liked it, and he only likes salty foods. I used mandarin... oranges and it came out wonderful. I will make this one over and over!Read more
