Friends served us this wonderful salad when we were vacationing in Arizona. My husband particularly liked the fresh-tasting citrus-flavored dressing, and asked me to be sure to get the recipe. It's since become one of our family's favorites. We think it's especially good served with a chicken casserole.
Ingredients:
salad dressing:
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
salad:
3 heads boston lettuce, torn
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
1 small red onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained or fresh orange sections
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk salad dressing ingredients; set aside. Arrange the lettuce, cucumber, avocado, onion and oranges on individual plates. Drizzle with dressing just before serving. Yield: 6 servings.
