- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth. Store in refrigerator.
- Step 2: Cut off the peel and white pith from the oranges. Segment them into wedges or cut horizontally into rings. Set aside.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: Every 3 cups of raw spinach is equal to about 3 large handfuls. Note 2: Buy pre-boiled eggs for a time-saving alternative. Or boil up a big batch and enjoy them throughout the week.

All the breakfast favorites, in one richly textured and easy-to-prepare salad. Juicy orange, salty bacon, crumbly egg, and crunchy greens, all enrobed in a light sweet-mustard vinaigrette. It might sound odd at first, to add citrus to the mix, but it adds a refreshing touch that elevates all the other flavors. Do note that if you are strictly limiting your carbohydrate intake, then each orange may be substituted with 1 cup of raspberries. Serve this salad as a light brunch, weekday lunch, or dinner. It goes especially well alongside a thick slice of avocado-mashed toast.
