A spur-of-the-moment creation when I wanted something with a great flavor punch and lots of color, plus quick to prepare—this one fills the bill, with baby spinach and colorful cranberries and mandarin oranges, plus the crunch of sweetened almonds and the pungent feta cheese—a new favorite at our house! You may substitute blue cheese for the feta and any kind of sweetened pecans or walnuts, if desired, for the almonds.
Ingredients
- 8 cups baby spinach leaves
- ½ medium red onion, sliced and separated into rings
- 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 ½ cups sweetened dried cranberries
- 1 cup honey-roasted sliced almonds
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place servings of spinach onto salad plates. Top with red onion, mandarin oranges, cranberries, sliced almonds and feta cheese in that order. Drizzle dressing over each salad.
