Spinach and Mandarin Orange Salad With Poppyseed Dressing

• baby spinach leaves↗4 cups
• mandarin oranges↗1

  drained

• sliced water chestnuts1

  drained

• mayonnaise↗1⁄2 cup
• plain yogurt↗1⁄2 cup
• poppy seeds↗3 tablespoons
• honey↗4 tablespoons

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Add equal parts yogurt, mayonnaise and mix well.

2. 2

   Add the honey and mix inches Adjust this to your tastes. It is generally lightly sweet and rounds out the flavors of the mayo and yogurt.

3. 3

   Add the poppy seeds, mix in (if you don't have seeds, don't sweat it, they give a bit of texture but I have wanted this salad and run out and it is fine without it -- )

4. 4

   Either mix the spinach, sliced water chestnuts and mandarin oranges, or make this directly on the plate. I usually break the water chestnuts because about a 1/2 slice and one mandarin orange plus a fork full of spinach leaves seems to be about perfect.

5. 5

   Top with the dressing.

   See! Isn't that easy? Five minutes!
