Now here’s a recipe that makes me think SUMMER! Blended with many textures and tastes, this salad makes a great meal for lunch or supper. Its Oriental homemade dressing nicely accents the tart spinach and sweet mandarin orange combination. Many restaurants serve a version of this salad, but you can make it yourself for a fraction of the cost. Make it tonight for supper!
