Description

Topping this salad with baked salmon and sauteed snap peas is our favorite weeknight meal. It all comes together quickly and easily, and the flavors really complement each other. Best of all, it's very healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

¼ cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 pound baby spinach leaves
1 (10 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, or to taste
