Spinach Salad With Madarine Orange And Candied Walnut In 10 Minutes

This is my favorite salad and I have not been able to get it right until now. The reason, the only place I might find it in the month of March is Soup Plantation. There were years when I had missed having it. For years I have looked at many recipes and tried some of them, but a few weeks ago I found the original recipe and it had ingredients that were for maybe over 12 people. So a week ago my daughter and I made this for dinner. We did not take the whole recipe as such but substituted brown sugar in the place of white and came up with our own combination of ingredients. I love this salad because it has the sweet and savory thing going on in it and the combo of mandarin oranges and walnuts makes it most perfect.
