Spring Salad With Orange Chive Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• 1. To make sugared almonds, melt butter in a skillet. Add sugar and stir.
• 2. Then add almonds.
• 3. Stir until sugar is dissolved and almonds are coated and toasted (about 3-4 minutes on low to medium heat).
• 4. Place almonds on wax paper in a single layer and let cool while preparing the rest of the salad.
• 5. Mix dressing ingredients. I use a quart canning jar with a lid to shake it up well. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.
• 6. Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
• 7. Combine all ingredients and top with sugared almonds.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the prosciutto slices on a baking sheet and bake until just crisp, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Crumble the prosciutto slices into a container and store in the refrigerator.
• In a blender, combine the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a steady stream until combined. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
• To serve, put the spinach in a large bowl. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the spinach. Sprinkle with the crisp prosciutto crumbles, toss again, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine lettuces, oranges, radishes, grapefruit, snap peas, and walnuts.
• Drizzle with half of the Orange-Chive Vinaigrette, tossing to coat.
• Garnish with Asiago cheese, if desired.
• Serve remaining dressing on the side.
• To prepare dressing whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
