Ingredients

1 package of organic carrots, scrubbed and shredded

2 navel oranges, one segmented/one juiced

2 stalk of celery, strings removed and minced quite small

generous handful of dried cranberries (I like the tart better than raisins)

1 head of bibb or boston lettuce

1 small package of roasted cashews chopped

3 tablespoons of canola oil

3 tablespoons of champagne or white wine vinegar

1/3 cup of fresh orange juice from one of the naval oranges

generous pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon of white pepper

2 tablespoons of cinnamon

Directions

Scrub and grate the carrots.

Remove tough strings from celery and mince.

Juice on naval, reserve juice for dressing

Segment the other orange and add to the carrots and celery.

Add the cranberries to the mix.

In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine oil, vinegar, orange juice, salt, pepper and cinnamon.

Shake like crazy.

Drizzle about half over carrots, celery, orange and cranberries.

Toss gently.

Add more dressing if necessary to moisten.

Refigerate at least an hour to meld the flavors.

Serve salad in lettuce cups and top each mound of celery with chopped cashews.

Leftover dressing is great on cold ooked diced sweet potatoes with celery and chopped green onions.

Oh this sounds great! I can't wait to try it. Have you tried adding ginger to this too?

Ginger would be a great addition! It originally called for raisins and I used the cranberries because I liked the tartness better, and I sometimes grate the rind into the dressing depending on how ambitious I feel. I actually love the dressing on the sweet potatoes but I haven't mastered cooking a sweet potato into nice looking cubes. Most of the time they get to mushy and it isn't as pleasant looking as a dish. I'll try adding some chopped fresh ginger. It also called for parsley which looks very pretty when added but I don't always have parsley on hand to add.
