Asian Spinach Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
1 bag (6 to 8 ounces) fresh baby spinach
1 can (15 ounces) Mandarin oranges, drained
1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes, sliced in half
1/2 cup cashews (optional)
1/4 cup sliced or diced red onion (optional)
Sesame Vinaigrette:
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup rice or white wine vinegar
2 to 3 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions:
In a large bowl bowl, toss together the spinach leaves, Mandarin oranges, grapes, nuts and red onions. In a jar shake together the vinaigrette ingredients. Drizzle some of the dressing over the salad. Extra dressing keeps in the fridge for about a week.
Bright flavours with a subtle dressing. Lovely salad.
Hi Amy,
I’m thinking of making this salad for a Mother’s Day buffet. I will be serving about 15 people. Can you tell me about how many servings this makes so I can figure how much to make? Thank you!
Hi Lani. I would say this salad serves 4 to 6. I’d triple it to have enough for your guests. Thanks! -Amy
