The concept behind this recipe seems to be something along the lines of "how much chocolate can I put into a salad?" The Cocoa Nib Vinaigrette has several tablespoons of cocoa nibs ground up into it and lightly sauteed with oil.

There are a couple of suggested salad pairings, all of which have both whole cocoa nibs and grated chocolate in them in addition to the dressing. I chose the version with avocado and oranges tossed with greens. This led to learning how to
supreme an orange (thanks Martha).

Of all the people who tried this salad the biggest fan is a certified chocoholic. The general consensus though is the grated chocolate in particular is a little much.

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? The part of this I'm most likely to repeat is actually the whole cocoa nibs in the salad, I really like the flavor & crunch. The dressing and the grated chocolate weren't my favorite so those aren't going on the repeat list.
