Citrus Salad and Vinaigrette
I love this fresh salad and dressing because it is so simple! Rather than whisking the dressing together, add the ingredients in a mason jar and shake to combine. This makes the dressing easy to transport and can be easily stored in the refrigerator.
This salad is super versatile; if you do not like an ingredient, simply substitute for another! Oranges work well in the place of tangerines, and any nut can be swapped out for the pecans.
The olive/avocado oil used in this recipe is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can aid in reducing inflammation and “bad” cholesterol.

Instructions
