I really enjoy this mandarin orange salad. It is very light and refreshing. I love the unique combination of the sweetness of the fruit and vinaigrette, the spicy sharpness of the onion, the creaminess of the goat cheese, and the crunch of the sunflower seeds.

SALAD DRESSINGS
Thousand Island Dressing
I originally created this dressing to go with the Rueben slider sandwiches I made for a St. Patrick’s Day party. It was the perfect dressing to go with the warmed corn beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on grilled marble rye bread. I also tried it on a hamburger and it was great. Yes, I know…
