Orange and Almond Salad

This is one of our favorite salads!


1 head romaine lettuce or leafy green lettuce
4 navel oranges
¼ cut sliver almonds (toasted if you like, I usually just add them raw)
1 T chopped fresh or dried tarragon
2 T honey
2 T vinegar
4 T olive oil
Juice from ½ of a orange
A bash a Salt

Arrange chopped lettuce on a platter. 3 ½ oranges trim a slice of skin from the top and bottom of the orange down to the flesh. Stand the orange up right and cut off the remaining peel, working from top to bottom around the orange. Cut orange in half lengthwise and slice into half-moon shapes. Add oranges and almonds to lettuce.

In small bowl combined, honey, vinegar, orange juice, salt, tarragon with a whisk. Stream olive oil while continuing to whisk well. Pour the dressing evenly over the entire salad and serve.
