Ingredients

CITRUS-CHILI VINAIGRETTE

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp. Champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder

SALAD

  • 3 cups packed mixed baby greens
  • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 cup diced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine the vinaigrette ingredients in a cup or small bowl.
  2. Toss the greens, avocado, strawberries, pomegranate seeds, and pine nuts in a large mixing bowl. Toss in the dressing until evenly coated. Divide the mixture between two bowls and serve immediately.

VARIATION

Add cooked chickpeas, Quick Bacon Crumbles, or Chile-Roasted Tofu to liven up the salad or make it more of a main course. A sprinkle of Pepita Parmesan never hurt anyone, either.
