- 2 navel oranges or tangerines, peeled, seeded and sliced shopping list
- 1 bermuda onion, sliced very thin shopping list
- Seeds from 1 pomegranate (about 1 cup) I use 2 shopping list
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts shopping list
- Dressing: shopping list
- 3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pasilla (or cayenne) pepper shopping list

- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- For dressing:
- Combine all ingredients in blender and puree. Taste for salt and peppers. This can be made up to the day before and refrigerated.
- For salad:
- Remove roots and any thick stems from the spinach and rinse thoroughly in cold running water. (Double check, spinach can be very dirty.) Spin or drain spinach to dry completely.
- The salad is composed, on either individual plates or a buffet platter, as follows:
- 1. A bed of spinach
- 2. Orange slices, onion rings and jicama spears artfully arranged on spinach
- 3. Pomegranate seeds and walnuts sprinkled on.
- 4. Dressing drizzled to taste.
- When I tested it at home... I put on glass platter... would make a georgous center item for Christmas buffet! The red and green!
