Orange Spinach Salad
The combination of mustard-onion dressing with juicy oranges, cheese and crunchy sweet almonds is a joy for every taste bud! We eat this salad several times a week. —Jenn Rytting, West Jordan, Utah

Reviews
Niced salad, except we found the dressing way too vinegary for us.
Very good! I used praline almonds that I crushed myself, peaches cuz I didn't have mandarins, and cut down on the vinegar in the dressing abit. It had lots of different flavours!!
I made this as part of our Easter dinner this year. It was a huge hit! And best of all it was very easy. The salad dressing was delicious. Will definitely make again!
I wouldn't change a thing! This recipe knocks our socks off! I'm not a great one for salads but this is one I won't pass up. Everybody who tries it loves it and asks for the recipe. In fact I'm printing off yet another copy to give to my Pastor's wife who wants to use it at our Valentine's Banquet.
Very easy and delicious...a new family favorite!
