MANDARIN ORANGE AND SPINACH SALAD



Mandarin Orange and Spinach Salad image

This is a beautiful tossed salad with spinach, romaine, and mandarin oranges with a sweet, sour, slightly spicy dressing. To top it all off, glazed sliced almonds. I first made this in culinary school, and I have made it many times. It is great for entertaining. The mandarin oranges' color just "pops" against the greens. Time includes chill time for the dressing.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 large salad, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (more or less Tabasco is best for this as it just brings some heat to the party)
1 dash black pepper
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups torn romaine lettuce
4 cups torn spinach leaves (or any combination of lettuces)
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup sliced green onion
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • In jar with tight-fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients; shake well. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • In skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium low heat until sugar melts and coats almonds, stirring frequently. Cool; break apart.
  • Combine the rest of the salad ingredients.
  • Toss with dressing and top with almonds--I prefer to top the salad, and at the last minute, as opposed to tossing the almonds in the salad to keep the sugar from being "washed off" by the dressing.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup salad oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups torn spinach (or any combination you'd like of romaine, iceburg, spinach etc.)
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup sliced green onion (or sometimes I use red onion)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained

Steps:

  • In a jar, combine all ingredients for the dressing.
  • Shake well and refrigerate for at least one hour to blend flavours.
  • (I make it the night before) In a heavy skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium heat until sugar melts and coats almonds, stirring frequently.
  • Cool.
  • Break apart if necessary.
  • In large bowl, combine spinach, celery and green onions.
  • Just before serving, add almonds and orange segments.
  • Toss gently.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss.
  • P.S.I always double the amount of almonds because they really add a wonderful flavour to the salad-- and because some mysteriously disappear before they make it to the salad!
