Mandarin Orange Salad


Sweet fruit chunks with a tart red wine vinaigrette make a terrific flavor combination on mixed greens.

Ingredients

* 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon orange juice
* 1 tablespoon olive, canola, or canola-soybean blend
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
* 6 cups mixed greens (such as baby spinach, pea fronds, Bibb lettuce, and/or escarole)
* 1 10.5-ounce can mandarin orange sections (juice pack), drained
* 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
* 1/4 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted

Directions

In a screw-top jar combine the vinegar, orange juice, oil, sugar, and mustard. Cover and shake well.

Place greens in a large salad bowl. Pour dressing over salad. Toss gently to coat. Arrange orange sections and raspberries over greens. Sprinkle with almonds. Makes six 1-cup servings.
