Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 3 tangerines
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby spinach. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Peel the tangerines, separate them into segments, and remove any seeds. Add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add the slices to the bowl with the spinach and tangerines.
In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool, then add to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh orange juice, honey, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to combine and evenly coat the spinach and tangerines.
Serve immediately and enjoy this bright and zesty Spinach and Tangerine Salad!
