Sunlight Beams on a Table Set for Dinner
This is not an everyday salad! It’s something that is a little special and perfect for company.
The addition of sugared pecans for some crunch and mandarin oranges for a citrusy tang make this salad a great starter for a dinner party. And the good thing about it is that it is easy with the calories and fat grams. A 1¼ cup equals 134 calories with 7 grams fat and 14 grams carbohydrate. That is amazing with how delicious it is. To make it have even lower counts, I use Splenda in replacing the sugar in the dressing and you would never know by the taste.
It’s great just as a salad for your family or even as lunch, the recipe can always be halved. The dressing can be made ahead of time and the salad, except for the pecans and oranges can be prepped early also and put together just before serving. It has simple ingredients but, it’s high on taste and is even delicious left over the next day. Try it, if you’re a salad lover and looking for something different!
