Ingredients

1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons honey or 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
salt and pepper
12 ounces pre-washed Baby Spinach
6 ounces sliced white mushrooms
6 ounces mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Combine spinach, mushrooms, mandarin orange segments and onions in a large bowl. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat lightly. Garnishes with cranberries and pine nuts.

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for crisp spinach, firm mushrooms, and sweet red onions.
Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
Sauté the mushrooms in a little butter or olive oil until they are tender and browned. This will bring out their flavor and make them more flavorful.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook until it is just wilted. Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it.
Transfer the spinach and mushrooms to a bowl and let them cool slightly.
While the spinach and mushrooms are cooling, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the spinach and mushrooms and toss to coat.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
