Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

In a small bowl, whisk together tangerine juice, vinegar, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, add olive oil in a slow stream.
In a large bowl, combine lettuce with tangerines and apple. Add coconut and almonds; toss salad with vinaigrette as desired. Serve immediately.
