Mandarin Almond Salad

This is something that all Foodies out there have to try if they like crunchy tangy salads!

Its deliciously wonderful, and fantastic on a hot day, with a beer of course



1 Package of Baby Spinach

2 cans of Mandarin Oranges... Fresh oranges work too but this is less work

1 package of sliced almonds Toasted
(toss entire package into a dry pan on medium heat... toss until you can smell them or til you see a slight sear)

1 Small onion cut in half, sliced thin

1/3 of a cup of red wine vinegar...

2/3 of a cup of extra Virgin olive oil

Note
IF you're not a big fan of strong onion taste slice the onion first, then submerge in ICE COLD water for 15 mins

Add ingredients to a bowl and toss to mix...

2 pinches of salt & pepper

Season to taste of course

You'll love it!!

Great idea! Start to learn all things Mandarin.

Ohhh, that looks good. Spinach is 'the best' substitute for lettuce in a salad ... and it is sooo good for you. I used to grow the best crops and I miss fresh baby spinach the most.

Doesn't spinach have an almond flavor to it?

That looks delicious, thanks for sharing.
having recently started to eat healthier, and cutting down on meats, I too have been creating my own salads and vegetable dishes.
If only i were strong enough to say no to dessert!
