Instructions
- Salad Dressing: Add all of the salad dressing ingredients to a blender and pulse a few times until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed—more vinegar, orange, or honey, depending on your preference. Refrigerate until ready to use. This may be made a few days in advance.2 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 Tablespoons honey, 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 green onions, juice from 1 medium size orange, salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Slice oranges: To slice the oranges, cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange to expose the flesh. Place the oranges upright on your cutting board and, following the contour of the orange, slice the peel off to expose the flesh. Then cut along the sections of the orange into slices.2 oranges
