I have vivid memories of eating this at Easter when Grandma H. would make it. She would make a dressing with it but I usually don't because the oranges mix with the caramelized almonds and make a kind of dressing on their own:
1 bag of baby spinach
1 can (16 oz) of mandarin oranges drained
1/4 cup caramelized almonds (to caramelize almonds, heat up 2 Tablespoons of sugar and a Table spoon of water with the almonds and stir until the almonds are coated with sugar and the sugar turns to a caramel color. Make sure to watch the almonds as they burn easily.)
Mix all together right before you eat.
If you want to try the dressing it's (but I think it's better and lighter without):
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 c. salad oil
Few dashes Tabasco sauce
Dash Pepper
