This Orange, Hazelnut, Smoked Salmon salad is a refreshing mid-winter meal, perfect for when you’re dreaming of spring, but the temperatures say otherwise.
For vinaigrette:
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
For salad:
5 oz. spring mix greens
1 small head butter lettuce, leaves roughly torn
4 mandarin oranges, peeled, divided into segments
1/2 lb. smoked salmon, flaked into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, roughly chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
Note: If you do not plan on serving immediately, or anticipate leftovers, do not dress the salad with the vinaigrette. Dress individual portions with vinaigrette, to avoid wilting the greens when storing the salad in the fridge. Store the vinaigrette and the undressed salad in the fridge.
