Salmon and Orange Salad with Orange Shallot Vinaigrette

Orange Shallot Vinaigrette:

1 cup (8 ounces) 100% Florida orange juice

4 tablespoons walnut oil

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 garlic clove, finely minced

3 tablespoons shallots, finely minced

Freshly ground salt and black pepper to taste

 

Salad:

3 cups baby spinach leaves

3 cups mixed greens

1/3 cup sliced mushrooms

6 strawberries, thinly sliced

1/3 cup red onion slices

1 large Florida navel orange, peeled and cut into slices

2 tablespoons roasted and salted sunflower seed kernels

2 smoked salmon fillets (3 or 4 ounces each)*

1. Whisk orange juice, walnut oil, mustard, garlic and shallots together in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Toss baby spinach and mixed greens together; divide between two large plates or large bowls. Arrange half of the mushrooms, strawberries, red onions and orange slices over each salad. Sprinkle each salad with 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds; top with salmon fillet. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of Orange Shallot Vinaigrette over each salad. Reserve remaining dressing for other uses.

Makes 2 servings.

* Look for either the pouch pack smoked salmon fillets in the canned tuna/salmon section or for packaged smoked salmon fillets in the refrigerated seafood case.
