Ingredients

• 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp raw honey
• 1 tbsp shallot (very finely minced)
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano (Mediterranean-style, if available)
• 1 pinch flaky sea salt
• black pepper (freshly cracked, to taste)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil (amount not specified in recipe; drizzle slowly while whisking)
• 4 cup arugula, baby spinach, or a combination

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

2. 2

   Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.

   Stir in the minced shallot, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the dressing sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. 4

   Place the arugula and/or spinach in a large bowl.

5. 5

   Drizzle with about 2–3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss gently until lightly coated.

6. 6
