Steps:
- Drain mandarin oranges, reserving oranges in a large bowl and juice in a medium bowl.
- To the mandarin juice, add olive oil, vinegar, dijon mustard and pepper. Whisk until blended.
- In the large bowl, add lettuce, spinach and cabbage to the reserved oranges.
- Pour dressing over all and toss well to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right oranges: Look for seedless mandarins or clementines with bright, firm skin. Avoid any fruit that is bruised or soft.
- Segment the oranges carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of each orange. Then, score the peel vertically and carefully remove it in strips. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the fruit.
- Don't overdress the salad: Mandarin oranges have a delicate flavor that can be easily overpowered by too much dressing. A simple vinaigrette or drizzle of honey is all you need.
- Add some crunch: To add some texture to the salad, try adding chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
- Make it a main course: Mandarin orange salad can be a light and refreshing main course when paired with grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.
Conclusion:
Mandarin orange salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or main course. With its bright citrus flavor and refreshing crunch, it's a perfect way to add some sunshine to your next meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious recipe, give mandarin orange salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
