Ojai Winter Orange Salad
Winter Orange Salad 
(from the Healthy Recipes for Singles and Doubles cookbook)
 
A delicious mixture of lettuce, orange, avocado and cashews.
Servings:  1
 
2 cups Bibb lettuce, washed and torn
1 medium orange, peeled and sliced
1 scallion, chopped
¼ cup avocado, sliced
1 tablespoon cashews, toasted
2 tablespoons fat free honey mustard dressing
 
Combine lettuce, orange, onion and avocado.
Toss with dressing
Top with toasted cashews.
 
SERVING IDEAS:  Double the recipe and have a one dish meal, or serve as a side dish.
NOTE:  We eat this salad in the winter when tomatoes are not as good.  That's when Ojai oranges are at their best!  There are many good fat free honey mustard dressings - find one you like!  You can make this without the cashews or avocado to save on fat, but they add a lot of flavor and nutritional value.
