Spinach And Mandarin Orange Salad With Poppyseed Dressing

This salad is one i've made for years. It is quick, easy, includes just the right dressing and if you add some chunked chicken, you go from a very nice (fancy) side salad to a great main dish!!!

Steps

Make your dressing first:.
Add equal parts yogurt , mayonnaise and mix well.
Add the honey and mix inches adjust this to your tastes.
It is generally lightly sweet and rounds out the flavors of the mayo and yogurt.
Add the poppy seeds , mix in.
Salad:.
Either mix the spinach , sliced water chestnuts and mandarin oranges , or make this directly on the plate.
I usually break the water chestnuts because about a 1 / 2 slice and one mandarin orange plus a fork full of spinach leaves seems to be about perfect.
Top with the dressing', see ! isn't that easy ? five minutes !"]".

Ingredients

baby spinach leaves, mandarin oranges, sliced water chestnuts, mayonnaise, plain yogurt, poppy seeds, honey
