Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy mandarins: This will ensure that your salad is sweet and flavorful.
  • Segment the mandarins carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut around the segments, avoiding the white pith.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad: Over-mixing will break up the segments and make the salad mushy.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh mint or cilantro: This will add a pop of color and freshness.
