Crunchy California Sunshine Salad

Crunchy California Sunshine Salad Recipe

When Michaela Rosenthal lived in Montana, she made a similar version of this salad. Upon moving to Woodland hills, Calif., she updated it with fresh local ingredients. According to Michaela, this is a great potluck dish. Bring the dressing in a separate container and add enough to coat the greens just before serving.

Ingredients
Dressing:
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt

Salad:
2 heads baby romaine lettuce, torn in bite-size pieces
2 (4-ounce) packages bean sprouts
2 navel oranges, peeled and separated
1/3 cup chopped jicama
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup dried sour cherries or cranberries
1/3 cup shelled sunflower seeds
Instructions
1. For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Chill.
2. For the salad, place lettuce in a large salad bowl. Cut each orange segment in half and add to lettuce. Add jicama, raisins, cherries and sunflower seeds. When ready to serve, pour chilled dressing, to taste, over salad and toss. Serves 8.
