How to Make Citrus Spinach Salad

Wash and thoroughly dry 10 oz of fresh spinach. In a large bowl, gently toss together the spinach, ½ cup thinly sliced red onion, 1 cup segmented oranges (about 2 medium), and ¼ cup toasted pine nuts.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup fresh orange juice, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra orange segments and pine nuts if desired.
