'O' My Darling' Clementine Spinach Salad

February 18, 2010

The Brazil nuts in this recipe provide crunch and selenium, a potent cancer-fighting antioxidant. Just one Brazil nut per day supplies your daily requirement of selenium.

Serves 4 - 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag (10 ounces) spinach, chopped
  • 1 1/3 cups fresh Clementine oranges (tangerines, or grapefruit) sections
  • 1 cup berries or grapes
  • 1/4 cup fat-free raspberry vinaigrette
  • (optional) 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped Brazil nuts

Directions:

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and toss gently to mix. Serve immediately.

Clementine oranges are a variety of mandarin orange. Since they peel easily like tangerines, they are also known as seedless tangerines.
