This light and healthful salad is packed with folic acid and iron from the spinach and lean protein from the shrimp. I just served this easy peasy salad along with tom yum gai soup for a fun and bubbly girls champagne brunch. I added a bit of the mandarin orange juice to the champagne with rave reviews and called it “The Tigerlily.”

Ingredients

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

2 cups cooked medium shrimp

8 cups baby spinach

1 cups canned mandarin oranges, drained

¼ cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  • To prepare dressing, combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Set aside.
  • To prepare salad, add shrimp, mandarin oranges and spinach to vinegar mixture; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts before serving.
