What each ingredient does

Fresh baby spinach
Provides the leafy base and crisp texture of the salad.
Cooked turkey
Adds protein and a substantial, chewy bite to the salad.
Oranges
Contribute juicy sweetness and bright acidity that balance the dressing.
Vegetable oil
Carries fat in the dressing, giving it body and helping it coat the leaves.
Honey
Adds sweetness that rounds out the acidity of the orange juice.

The step that matters

Shake the dressing until combined. Oil and orange juice separate on their own, so shaking in a sealed container emulsifies them briefly into a dressing that coats leaves evenly. Toss well after pouring it over the spinach.
