Mandarin Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

Mandarin Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

Apr 07, 2025

This quick to make salad not only tastes good, it is good for you. Mandarins are a great source of Vitamin C and Folate, making them the perfect choice for kids and women during pregnancy. We eat this salad a lot as we are very fortunate to have access to cheap/free avocados and we love the combination of flavours.


Serves: 4
Preparation:15 minutes

    5 mandarins, peeled and separated
    4 cups mixed greens

    Zest of 1 mandarin, grated
    Juice of 1 mandarin
    Juice of 1 lemon
    ¼ cup olive oil
