Instructions
Drain oranges, reserving 1/4 cup syrup; set oranges aside. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine syrup, oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, basil and savory; shake well. In a salad bowl, toss lettuce, oranges and onion.
Add the dressing and toss. Top with almonds; serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Broadside Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Broadside Chardonnay
Light bright gold. Ripe pear and nectarine aromas show good clarity and pick up smoky lees and toasted grain nuances with aeration. Silky and open-knit, offering concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors complemented by suggestions of fennel and honey. The smoky quality comes back on a long, smooth finish that leaves behind a refreshingly bitter pear skin note.
