Citrus Vinaigrette

Drizzle this over your salad for a burst of sweet, citrusy flavor. It balances out the savory goodness of other ingredients like nuts and avocado. Plus, it is filled with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and more!

  • Fresh orange juice
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • White vinegar or champagne vinegar
  • Honey
  • Dried oregano
  • Sea salt more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper

How To Make This Superfood Salad

Make The Lemon Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the olive oil. Then, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until a creamy emulsion forms. Alternatively, you can add all the ingredients to a small mason jar, seal the lid, and shake vigorously to combine the ingredients. Store the dressing in the fridge until ready to use. (It can last in the refrigerator for up to one week.)

Assemble The Salad: Add the spinach, or greens of your choice, to a large plate. Top with pieces of remaining ingredients. Drizzle on the lemon vinaigrette, then toss the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Can I make this salad ahead?

Absolutely! Save time by cooking the quinoa and roasting the sweet potatoes ahead of time. Allow both ingredients to cool before placing them in the salad. Don’t toss the salad with the dressing until you’re ready to serve.

Substitutions and Variations

  • VEGAN: Make this salad vegan by swapping out the honey in the dressing for agave.
  • WRAP: Repurpose leftovers by placing the salad in a tortilla in order to make it a wrap.
  • OTHER SUPERFOOD SALAD DRESSING: Switch up the vinaigrette for another quick and tasty dressing like Cilantro Avocado Dressing, Chipotle Dressing, and Vegan Ranch Dressing.
  • MORE ADD-INS: Consider adding other vegetables like kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, spicy peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
