Spinach, Romaine, and Tangerine Salad

This is one of Matt's favorites. He will take a salad with citrus vinaigrette and fresh orange slices any day of the week. I'm not sure that both the romaine and spinach are necessary (if you don't have both on hand just use the one that you do) but it does add some nice variety.

1 Tablespoons mint leaves, torn
1/2 teaspoon tangerine zest
1 Tablespoon fresh tangerine juice

1. Whisk mint leaves, zest, juice, vinegar, and salt together. Gradually add the olive oil while whisking continuously.

2. Toss Romaine, spinach, tangerine slices, and walnuts together. Sprinkle with pepper and drizzle with the dressing. Toss well.
