2 green onions chopped
1 can mandarin oranges-drained( keep juice)

Dressing
1/4 olive oil
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp parsley
1/2 tsp salt
Juice from Mandarins

Mix dressing in a jar and put in fridge for flavours to blend.
Toss salad in large bowl and just before serving toss in dressing.

Mine has bean spouts in it, gives a good crunch. The dressing uses orange juice.

[Cassie-Jane]

Yum that sounds good also,
Do you add the orange juice to the dressing like how you add the Mandarin Juice in mine??

[KarenB]

yes the 2 tablespoons of orange juice are added to the dressing. The recipe comes from Choice Cooking by the Canadian diabetes association. Excellent cookbook away ahead of its time. It must be 30 years old. Oops, showing my age...again.
