Spinach and Orange Salad

Ingredients

BASE
Spinach
YUMS
Orange, half a large Seville orange (a whole mandarin orange can be nice instead)
Almonds, slivered or crushed (2 tbsp)
Poppyseeds (2 tsp?)
Toasted sesame seeds (2 tsp?)
A lil bit of finely minced shallot or red onion (maybe?) (2 tbsp?)
Cooked mushrooms (maybe?) (2 tbsp?)
Beans? Chickpeas maybe? (3 tbsp?)
DRESSING
Orange zest (1 tsp?)
Orange juice, from your orange (2 tbsp?)
Olive oil (1 tbsp?)
Sesame oil (1 tsp?)

Method

For PREP, you need your cutting board and knife and a bunch of small bowls. For ASSEMBLY, you’ll be throwing things together. Pausing after each step to clean up can be really nice, then there’s no cleanup after you eat!
PREP
Spinach: Wash and dry the spinach. A salad spinner works great here! Stack the spinach leaves, with the place where each leaf turns into a stem lined up. Starting from the stem side, cut the stems up into fine little bits, scrape those aside, and then cut the leaves up into fork-sized chunks.
Orange: Wash and dry your orange. Use a microplane to scrape some orange zest, set that aside for your dressing. Cut part of your orange into segments. Use another part of your orange for juice - you want a few tablespoons.
ASSEMBLY
Whisk your dressing together. Maybe some other ingredients it’s missing, I’m not sure, kind of need to try it first.
Prepare all the yums. Put em in little bowls, it’s fun.
Toss it all together! And enjoy.

Notes

Based on the salad that Granny Sandra makes a lot
Have tried making it once, it was delicious!
Fun fact: oranges technically resemble berries! So, this salad could qualify as a GBOMBS salad. Last time I made it though, I didn’t add red onion, cooked mushrooms, or chickpeas. Definitely want to try it again, and add those ingredients next time.
