Mandarin Salad
"You can keep the oranges and french-fried onions in your pantry to prepare this refreshingly different salad when unexpected company shows up at the door," comments Elsie Maurillo, Atkinson, New Hampshire. "It goes equally well with beef, pork or poultry or fish."
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 10 cups torn salad greens
- 1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions

What an excellent salad...I can see using this as a potluck side dish...thinking it would make a great refreshing summer salad...just prepare the mayo dressing and put everything in the frig and mix together before serving...I cut this down to 2 servings and ate the whole thing for my lunch...made for "Best of 2015" tag game...
An all-time favorite salad for its simplicity, brightness of flavor & mixed textures. I used mixed greens. Such an easy-fix, but company-worthy too. 1 of the few recipes I don't mind making at the last moment. Would prefer more juice & less mayo in the dressing. :-)
Very simple and refreshing! I used spring greens. I will cut the greens in half the next time I make, as this salad does not keep will for leftovers.
Hard to believe this simple recipe is so very good. Loved it! Will make many times this spring and summer. Thank You!
This salad was delicious! The recipe calls for 10 c. torn salad greens & was afraid I didn't have enough lettuce on hand, so I used 1 bag of pre-washed salad & large chunk off a head of lettuce. This is a keeper in my recipe box. We had a small bowl leftover & it was even delicious the next day.
This salad is super simple, light and refreshing.The onions on top give it a nice crunch.
