"I found this just before Christmas in a group of recipes for Hannukah. It was a big hit!"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 8 cups Baby Spinach
• 1 bunch green onion
• 4 seedless tangerines
• 1 cup dried cranberries

• Vinaigrette

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• 2 teaspoons prepared mustard (I used dijon)
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil

directions

1. Tear the washed spinach into bite sized pieces. Slice the green onions. Peel and section the tangarines and cut each section in half. If you couldn't find "seedless tangarines" this is when you pop those little seeds out.
2. Combine spinach, onions, tangarine sections and cranberries in salad bowl.
3. Combine vinaigrette ingredients, pour over salad and toss.
4. Serve immediately.

This recipe was just what we needed. Thanks! We squeezed a tangerine for the juice for the dressing, but it wasn't sweet or sour enough, so we had to add some more vinegar and a bit of sugar. Salt too. I guess it was a juicy tangerine!

Truly the best recipe for this type of salad. This is one of my favorite salads and my sister makes it a lot for family functions and it wonderful...this one beats her by just a little bit. Adding the cranberries really makes this salad complete. Perfect combination of sweet and tangy. Thanks for sharing this wonderful salad!!!!

This was simply delicious! I love the tangy-sweet combination, and this salad is just about perfect in every way. I made the salad scaled down for one, but I made the full amount of dressing to keep in a jar in the fridge, because I like the flavor so much! Thanks, Graymare! Made for PAC Spring 2008
