Many days mealtime needs to be fast and my Quick Spinach, Cara Cara Orange and Feta Salad is easy to throw together and tastes super delicious. Citrus season is happening right now with some of the sweetest oranges that give salads a real boost of flavor, and are so suitable with greens.
Baby spinach tossed in a bowl with sliced Cara Cara oranges, which taste like a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit, and a dusting of slightly salty feta cheese becomes a delightful meal in minutes. A quick vinaigrette made with Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and some olive oil compliment the salad and adds an additional touch of tang.
I like to enjoy a big bowl for lunch or dinner and it’s also nice with some roasted shrimp or rotisserie chicken over top. I can never get enough salads and this one is super fast and fresh.
