Spinach salad with mandarin oranges, avocado, pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette

Spinach salad with mandarin oranges, avocado and pine nuts is a delicious combination of early spring seasonal flavors.

I guess it is technically late winter.🤔 Although in Alabama it has been quite warm. We get a little bit of everything in Alabama during the winter.

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 Accurate!✅😂🤣  I realize Groundhog Day was like a month ago, but I couldn’t resist.

But back to the spinach salad! I used to get stuck in a salad rut. My go to has always been greens, cheese, tomato and ranch dressing. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes you’ve just gotta mix it up.

To keep things a bit more interesting I love mixing seasonal produce to make a salad. Spinach, avocados and citrus fruits are all in season right now. And this salad is a winning flavor combination.

Topped with my signature homemade balsamic vinaigrette, it has the perfect mix of sweet and tangy.😋

Plus I added a little crunch from the pine nuts. 👌🏻

You could use the canned mandarins if you want, but the fresh mandarins/ clementines are sooo much better. Plus they are readily available and affordable this time of year.
