Spinach Salad with Mandarin Oranges

Spinach mandarine salad

This simple salad is full of flavors from fresh spinach, soaked almonds, crunchy cucumber, diced tomatoes combined with the sweetness of juicy mandarins. I used the canned mandarines from costco that come with juice and are very sweet, you can use fresh mandarins if you want and add a little honey in the dressing.

Dressing is a mixture of lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.

This salad is surely going to leave you feeling healthier and happier :)
