Step 1: Prepare the Salad Ingredients

Start by washing the salad greens thoroughly and drying them. If you prefer, you can tear the greens into smaller pieces for a more bite-sized salad. Place the greens into a large salad bowl.

Step 2: Segment the Mandarins

Peel the mandarin oranges and carefully separate the segments, removing any seeds. Cut the segments in half if desired and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 3: Add the Red Onion and Almonds

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad bowl. If you are using slivered almonds, sprinkle them over the salad for a crunchy texture.

Step 4: Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 5: Toss the Salad

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss the ingredients until everything is evenly coated. If desired, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese on top for extra flavor.
