By Hklbrries

Tip: Navel or Valencia oranges can be substituted for Cara Cara oranges.

Ingredients

• Salad:
• 4 cups spinach, washed and dried well
• 2 cups bite-size pieces romaine lettuce
• 5 strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 1/2 Cara Cara oranges
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• Vinaigrette:
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the vinaigrette, whisk together vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil until emulsified.

Place greens in a salad bowl. Add sliced strawberries. Remove peel from the whole orange, slice orange into rounds and cut rounds in half. Add to greens and strawberries. Squeeze the juice of the ½ orange over all ingredients in the bowl. Sprinkle blue cheese over the salad. Toss salad with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Serve immediately.
