4 Side salads (or 2 full salads)
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 946.36 ml baby spinach leaves
- 311.84 g can mandarin oranges, drained
- 170.09 g can sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 118.29 ml mayonnaise
- 118.29 ml plain yogurt
- 44.37 ml poppy seeds
- 59.16 ml honey
directions
-
Make your dressing first:
- Add equal parts yogurt, mayonnaise and mix well.
- Add the honey and mix inches Adjust this to your tastes. It is generally lightly sweet and rounds out the flavors of the mayo and yogurt.
- Add the poppy seeds, mix in (if you don't have seeds, don't sweat it, they give a bit of texture but I have wanted this salad and run out and it is fine without it -- )
-
Salad:
- Either mix the spinach, sliced water chestnuts and mandarin oranges, or make this directly on the plate. I usually break the water chestnuts because about a 1/2 slice and one mandarin orange plus a fork full of spinach leaves seems to be about perfect.
- Top with the dressing.
- See! Isn't that easy? Five minutes!
