Ingredients:
3 heads bibb lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 lbs fresh spinach, cleaned and torn into bite size pieces
3 oranges, peeled, sectioned, and seeded
3/4 medium red onions, sliced and separated into rings
3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped ( I used pecan halves)
3 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3/4 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons grated onions
Directions:
In large salad bowl, combine lettuce, spinach, oranges and onion.
Melt butter and saute walnuts until lightly browned (this will just take 2 or 3 minutes).
Sprinkle over lettuce mixture.
To make dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a jar, shake well and chill in refrigerator.
Shake again before serving.
Hint: To cut oranges so there is no membrane–cut peel and outer membrane off with paring knife.
Cut orange in half across segments.
Slip knife around and free each segment from membrane.
