Recipe(tried): Fresh Spinach, Mandarin Orange and Feta with Walnut Vinaigrette Salad

Menus
Good Morning !

It was a lovely weekend, the air was still crisp and On Sunday, I divided a Bird of Paradise plant that was just way tooo big. Hopefully it will bloom again this summer. I bagged about 4 giant bags of leaves...oh I hate those leaves coming down. I think we should see the end of it soon as I noticed new growth on all the oak trees. So that means I will uncover the pool soon and give it a good cleaning in preparation for Spring. My Dh told me to wait a while more...

The kids came and we enjoyed their company. They were so very happy to take the old furniture away. I am just glad it's out of the garage.

Tonight for dinner we will enjoy a crisp Spinach Salad, a very simple fare tonight.

Happy Cooking!! Gina

Fresh Spinach, Mandarin Orange and Feta with Walnut Vinaigrette Salad
serves 4

handful of fresh spinach for each dish
1 small can mandarin oranges, save juices for dressing
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
4 bacon strips, crisp and crumbled

Dressing:
6 tbsp. walnut oil
2 tbsp. tarragon wine vinegar
1/4 cup mandarin orange juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
dash cayenne pepper

Bags of pre-washed and cut spinach are now available, so grab a handful for each plate; toss in mandarin oranges, cranberries, and nuts. Sprinkle lime juice to coat.

Blend in the blender oil, vinegar, mandarin orange juice, garlic and spices to blend. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. When ready to serve individually, scatter feta over salad.
