Fresh citrus makes this easy salad bright and flavorful — especially during those drab winter months. Make it a meal by adding grilled chicken or shrimp — even tofu!

step 1
In a small bowl combine the zest of the Orange (1), Garlic (2 cloves), Dijon Mustard (1 Tbsp), Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (120 mL), Orange Juice (4 Tbsp), White Wine Vinegar (1 Tbsp), Honey (1 Tbsp), Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp). Whisk until emulsified and set aside. (This makes more dressing than you’ll need for this salad. Save any extra for other salads.)
