A creamy, citrus-infused dressing crowns this superb salad.

Ham-Citrus-Veggie Salad

1 cup Florida Orange Juice

3 tablespoons Florida Grapefruit Juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon honey

1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

1/8 teaspoon onion powder

1/3 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise or salad dressing

6 cups torn mixed salad greens

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1 1/2 cups assorted Florida orange sections (seeded)

5 ounces lower-fat and lower-sodium fully cooked ham, diced (1 cup)

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1. For dressing, in a small saucepan combine orange juice, grapefruit juice, cornstarch, honey, mustard, pepper, and onion powder. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Cool slightly. Transfer to bowl. Stir in mayonnaise. Cover; chill 2 to 24 hours.
2. In a large salad bowl toss together mixed greens and green onions. Add citrus sections, ham, and peas. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
