One of my go to salads is a mandarin orange and spinach salad with a homemade honey-lime dressing. I usually have a stock pile of canned mandarin oranges and always have spinach in my on hand. You prepare it just as it looks above. Toss some spinach with a can of the mandarin oranges(drained) and drizzle some of the honey-lime dressing. Here's the recipe for the homemade dressing.
Honey-Lime Dressing
What you need:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup honey
pinch of black pepper
chopped cilantro
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl with a whisk. Taste. Add more of any ingredient until it's
to your liking. Place to chill in the fridge for a few hours ( I think it tastes better like this plus the ingredients are able to marinate together) and then serve.
I also make variations to this salad as its my basic salad. You can add some grilled chicken, cranberries, pineapple, almonds, avocado, salmon, walnuts, to name a few. The possibilities are
endless....
Toodles,
