Miner’s Lettuce Salad with Blood Oranges, Avocado, Mint & Feta

 

Wild Miner’s lettuce

2 green onions, tops and stalks sliced

1/8 cup chopped fresh mint (or to taste)

2 blood oranges, peel and pith removed, sliced into rounds

1/2 ripe avocado, diced

goat or cow’s milk feta cheese

champagne vinegar

olive oil

Directions:

 

Gently rinse and spin dry the Miner’s lettuce. Place in a large bowl with the green onion and mint. Drizzle in equal amounts of champagne vinegar and olive oil (about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons each). Toss lightly, taking care not to crush the tender leaves.  Plate the greens. Top with avocado, blood oranges, and feta cheese. *Add additional protein if desired. Smoked salmon is divine!
