    Makes: 8 servings (1-cup ea)
    Time 15 min.

    Ingredients:
    1 cup fresh cranberries, plus more for garnish
    1 Tbsp. sugar-stevia sweetener
    2 large oranges
    2 celery stalks, thinly sliced

    Dressing:
    2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
    1 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
    1 tsp. honey
    1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
    1/4 cup walnut or olive oil
    1/4 tsp. sea salt
    1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

    5 cups mixed greens
    1/4 cup very thinly sliced red onion

    Directions:
    1. Add the 1 cup of cranberries to a food processor and pulse a few times to coarsely chop, or chop by hand. In a bowl, toss the cranberries with the sugar-stevia sweetener.

    2. Peel and section the oranges. Add the oranges and celery to the cranberries and gently toss; set aside.

    3. For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, ginger, honey, and mustard. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream, whisking to emulsify. Whisk in the salt and pepper.

    4. Toss the mixed greens with 3/4 of the dressing. Add the greens to a shallow platter. Top the greens with the cranberry-orange mixture, red onions, and, if desired, whole cranberries as a garnish. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
