Sweet Spinach Salad

(credit to Kellie)

I'm not a big "fruit in salad" person, but this is DELICIOUS. Seriously.

INGREDIENTS
3 T. orange juice concentrate
2 T. sugar
2 T. cider vinegar
1 ½ t. chopped onion
¼ t. salt
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ t. poppy seeds
1 pkg. (10 oz.) fresh spinach
1 can (15 oz.) mandarin oranges, chilled and drained
2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted if desired

DIRECTIONS
In a blender or food processor, combine the orange juice concentrate, sugar, vinegar, onion and salt. Gradually add oil to the mix. Stir in poppy seeds. Transfer to a small pitcher or bowl. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until chilled.

Combine spinach, oranges, and almonds in a large salad bowl. Serve with dressing.
