Preparation Steps

1

Caramelize the Walnuts

In a skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts and toast them for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Add honey and stir until the walnuts are coated and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

2

Prepare the Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3

Assemble the Salad

In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach, diced watermelon, quartered figs, and caramelized walnuts.

4

Dress the Salad

Drizzle the orange vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
