Orange Parsley Salad with White Balsamic Vinaigrette

By Barefeet In The Kitchen

Ingredients

1 head of green or red leaf lettuce (or ½ head of each, roughly chopped bite-size)
½ bunch of Italian parsley (leaves only, about cup, chopped small (about cup chopped))
6 clementine or mandarin oranges (peeled, sectioned and then chopped in half)
cup sliced almonds (caramelized or not*)
¼ cup light flavored olive oil
2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Prep Time10mins

Instructions

Combine the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a small jar and shake to combine.

In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, parsley and oranges. Drizzle with just enough dressing to lightly coat the lettuce. (I only used about 1/2 of the dressing for the whole salad.)

Toss with tongs or large spoons and then top with almonds. Serve immediately. Store any remaining dressing in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
