 Dressing
1/3 cup juice & zest from 1 orange

1 Tbsp green onion
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Dressing Wash and zest orange, and set zest aside. Place orange juice, vinegar, honey, onions, garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce in blender and blend until smooth. If necessary, use a spatula to make sure honey is not stuck in bottom of blender. With blender running on low, slowly drizzle in oil in a small, steady stream, to emulsify. Add orange zest and pulse to combine. Place dressing in a lidded jar and add sesame seeds, shaking to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Mix salad greens and vegetables. Right before serving, add orange slices, nuts, and noodles. Toss with dressing and serve.
