Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy oranges: Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a bright, deep orange color. Avoid oranges with blemishes or bruises.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a bright, pungent flavor to the dressing. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use ground ginger and garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Toast the peanuts: Toasting the peanuts brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. You can use a mix of baby spinach, arugula, romaine lettuce, or any other type of greens that you like.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

Mandarin Orange Peanut Salad is full of bright, citrusy, and nutty flavors that offer a delightful twist to the classic green salad.
