Serving Size: 3 cups salad with 2 tablespoons dressing

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil (canola, olive, or vegetable)
  • 8 cups greens (romaine, lettuce, or spinach)
  • 2 cups vegetables, chopped (broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, peppers, onions, or tomato)
  • 2 cups fruit, chopped (apples, berries, grapes, or oranges)

Instructions

  1. Combine dressing ingredients in a container with a screw top. Close tightly and shake until combined. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use (up to 1 week).
  2. For each salad, top 2 cups of greens with 1/2 cup vegetables and 1/2 cup fruit.
  3. Take dressing from the refrigerator and shake hard to combine ingredients again. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of dressing onto each salad.

Tips

Combine all dressing ingredients by beating with a whisk or fork if you do not have a container with a screw top.

Use any fruit juice you want. Leave out the sugar with sweeter juices such as pomegranate or clementine.

This salad dressing will be thinner than store bought salad dressing.

1/2 tablespoon is equal to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
