fresh baby spinach enough for 8 servings
3 small cans mandarin oranges, drained well

1/2 tsp dry mustard
3 Tbsp white vinegar
3 Tbsp *onion juice

  • 2. NOTE: A little drizzle over the spinach salad is all you need. This is NOT a dressing that you pour over all the salad. This makes a 1 cup amount and should drizzle 8 servings of salad.
  • 3. *Onion juice is found in a tall bottle packaged in a box. It's found in the spice section. It's expensive but will make several cups of this dressing.
  • 4. Many people sprinkle bacon over spinach salad but this would not do with this salad. It's unusual flavor would not be enhanced with bacon.
