Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all the ingredients for the Mandarin Orange Salad.
  2. Wash the mixed greens thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.
  3. Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl, making sure they are evenly spread out.
  4. Drain the mandarin oranges, discarding any excess juice.
  5. Add the mandarin oranges to the bowl with the mixed greens, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Measure out the sliced almonds and sprinkle them evenly over the greens and oranges.
  7. Thinly slice the red onion, making sure the slices are as uniform as possible.
  8. Add the thinly sliced red onion to the salad bowl.
  9. Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the salad ingredients.
  10. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, and honey.
  11. Add the Dijon mustard to the mixture in the small bowl.
  12. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
  13. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, and whisk again to incorporate the seasoning.
  14. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
  15. Toss the salad gently, ensuring all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
  16. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving for a slightly chilled salad.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the mandarin oranges thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming too soggy.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the red onion slices in cold water for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • For a sweeter touch, you can add more honey to the dressing to suit your taste.
  • Try to use fresh feta cheese for the best flavor and texture, rather than pre-crumbled.
  • This salad can be topped with grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein.
