Henry’s Humdingers
November 1st, 2012When he was ten, Henry’s family traded in sunny, smoggy LA for a wet, verdant farm in western Washington. They started raising goats, sheep, cows, ducks, geese, chickens, pigs, oxen, and a donkey, so Henry quickly learned a thing or two about agriculture.

SALAD
6 cups baby spinach

Pinch cinnamon (for garnish)1. Whisk the dressing ingredients in a small dish until emulsified.
2. Arrange the spinach on a large platter and top with the red onion rounds.
3. Remove the stem and opposite end of the orange with a sharp knife. Lay the orange flat side down, and slice the skin off in 1- or 2-inch sections from top to bottom, taking care not to remove too much of the fruit. Turn the orange so the flat ends face to the sides. Slice the orange into 1/4-inch rounds, and quarter each round.
4. Arrange the oranges in a decorative fashion over the spinach and onions. Drizzle the salad generously with the dressing, and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and cinnamon.Nutrition info per serving (4): 162 calories; 9 g fat; 1 g saturated fat; 0 mg cholesterol; 3 g protein; 22 g carbohydrates; 3 g fiber; 38 mg sodium
