Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 lb chicken, grilled
  • 9 oz baby spinach
  • 2 medium avocados, cored and diced
  • 1 cup crumbled feta
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  1. Combine the olive oil, canola oil, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard and salt in a blender. Blend in short bursts until the dressing looks smooth and fully combined. Transfer it to a jar, mix in the poppy seeds, and chill it until you are ready to dress the salad.
