This salad recipe is all-kinds-of-awesome because it includes two goodies that pretty much everyone on the planet loves wholeheartedly: mandarin oranges and bacon! Dried cranberries are thrown in there too… because they’re always wonderful in a salad, so why not?
Here’s what I have to say about bacon in salad: “The more the merrier!” Oh, and toasted almonds too. This salad pretty much has all of my favorite things in it.
The dressing for this salad is a super simple, slightly creamy, tangy and sweet poppy seed dressing. It’s a perfect pairing with the sweet fruit in the salad. My family happily demolishes this salad. It turns out that when you add a bunch of yummy things to a bowl and mix it with lettuce… people tend to like it!
