I LOVE mandarins in salad, they go so well...mmmm...bacon and mandarins...perfect ;)
I have also started making salads at home...not just the usual plain old lettuce and tomato...I'm using lean chicken, chick peas etc for protein...plus I often chuck in some pear or apple for a fruity flavour. YUM.
Will definitely be trying this recipe next.
Flatting get bit sick of rice and what ever meat is on special so think I'll splash out and buy the stuff for this. Give it a try next week
