Blood Orange Salad with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
This is a super simple salad, with my two favorite citrus fruits, the Meyer lemon and blood orange, we ate this for valentines with a whole roasted red snapper :-), lovely. Its so easy to make your own vinaigrette's and much better for you :-)
Ingredients:
- a couple of handfuls of mixed greens
- one blood orange thinly sliced
- about 10 slices of cucumber
- 1/2 a grated carrot
for the vinaigrette
- one juice of a meyer lemon
- dash of balsamic vinegar
- pinch of salt and pepper
- tablespoon of orange juice
- tablespoon of olive oil
- teaspoon of honey
Method:
- chop the salad vegetables, grate carrot and add to a plate
- mix the ingredients of the vinaigrette and drizzle over the top
- enjoy
Have a wonderful weekend everyone :-)
