Gourmet Almond Mandarin Green Salad Recipe

This Gourmet Almond Mandarin Green Salad Recipe is so easy and absolutely delicious, you will make it over and over again.

Like most salads, you don't have to stick to the exact ingredients, which is why I have offered you so many variations that will taste very good as well.

It tastes wonderful with spinach as well, although baby spinach is best.You can use fresh mandarin oranges, but the canned ones are juicy and already peeled so much easier to use.
