1 tbsp Liquid honey
3/4 tsp Ground ginger
1/2 tsp Dry mustard
1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Spinach:

    • Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.

  4. Prepare the Oranges:

    • Peel the remaining two oranges, removing the rind and white membrane. Discard the membrane.
    • Hold each orange over the measuring cup with the dressing to catch any juices.
