Steps:

- Combine spinach, half of almonds, and all orange segments in large bowl with enough dressing to coat. Divide among 6 plates. Sprinkle with almonds.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and limes. If you don't have fresh citrus on hand, you can use bottled juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
- If you're using a pre-packaged salad mix, be sure to wash it thoroughly before using it. This will remove any dirt or debris.
- If you don't have spinach on hand, you can use another type of leafy green, such as kale, arugula, or romaine lettuce.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. You can also add nuts, seeds, or crumbled cheese.
- For a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup. For a more savory salad, add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
