Garlic: I prefer garlic powder in my dressings because it distributes more evenly but you may also use fresh garlic. If you don’t have pure maple syrup, substitute with honey. Please use pure maple syrup and not imitation kind. Dijon mustard : adds an oomph of flavor. Red wine vinegar: adds the delightful tanginess. Olive oil: use quality, extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor. Orange juice and zest: use fresh oranges because we are also using some of the zest. You can portion out and freeze whatever juice you don’t use in this salad for a later use – or add it to acai bowls – or drink it! You can also make your own pomegranate juice (see tips section). Pomegranate juice: can be found with the rest of the juices, or sometimes it is located in the refrigerated section. It may sound fancy, but it takes just minutes to make once you have your ingredients. The Mandarin Salad is dressed with stunning Orange Pomegranate Vinaigrette. Pomegranate Arils/Seeds: purchase a whole pomegranate and seed it yourself or you can buy pomegranate seeds in a container for a shortcut. Seeds: Roasted, salted sunflower seeds or pepitas please!. Nuts: sliced or slivered almonds for a tasty crunch. It tends to be creamier than purchasing goat cheese crumbles. I recommend purchasing fresh goat cheese in a log and crumbling it yourself. Goat cheese: the sharp, salty bite of the cheese with the sweet, mandarins is a match made in foodie heaven. You can chop or thinly slice the onions use more or less to taste. Red onion: their sharpness is needed to cut through the sweetness of the salad. You can slice your apples or chop them into chunks – totally personal preference. The sweetness and fresh crunch beautifully compliment the other earthy and tangy ingredients and are one of my favs with goat cheese. Apple: use a sweet apple like Fuji or Honeycrisp. They will be plump, full, and slightly tender and juicy. When picked and packaged fully ripe, the blackberries will be deep, inky black with purple highlights. If the berry is red or purple, it’s not ripe yet. Blackberries: look for sweet ripe blackberries because unripe blackberries will be bitter. Greens: I like to use a spring salad mix because it makes your life easier – no chopping lettuce! More importantly, it offers varying flavors and texture with different greens such as tender baby lettuce, spinach, Romaine, red and green oak leaf, chard, arugula, endive, radicchio, etc. Cuties are an example of clementine mandarins. Look for clementine’s because they are seedless, super easy to peel and sweeter than tangerines. Mandarin oranges: use fresh mandarin oranges as opposed to canned for their plump, slightly firm, juicy texture that won’t easily fall apart. The ingredients for this Mandarin Orange Salad are pretty straightforward. WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN MANDARIN ORANGE SALAD?
