This is from my cookbook for backpackers, paddlers and campers. The book is called A Fork in the Trail. We often take this salad on picnics, to potluck dinners and on regular camping trips. This is also a recipe you can easily tinker with. Changing the jelly and/or the vinegar can create some interesting combinations.

Just a nice twist for a every night salad or dinner party. This is the most simple elegant salad, but just think ... canned mandarin oranges, a bag of baby spinach and a jar of current jelly, a few other ingredients and you that is it. I love to garnish this with a little feta, but that is up to you. To me it just makes the salad.
