New Wave Spinach Salad

January 23, 2014

It couldn't be easier to make this refreshing salad. Instead of the traditional spinach salad with bacon, this one features oranges, cranberries and goat cheese with a lemon-honey dressing.

1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups loosely packed fresh spinach leaves
3 cups loosely packed red leaf lettuce leaves
2 ripe kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
1 can (11 ounces) Mandarin orange segments, drained
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 large red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
6 ounces goat cheese, cut into 6 (1/2-inch-thick) rounds

Beat the oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, garlic and black pepper in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Place the spinach and lettuce into a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Divide the greens among 6 plates and top with the kiwi, oranges, cranberries and red onion. Top each with 1 round goat cheese.
