Bright, refreshing, and packed with color, this spinach salad is the kind of dish that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in minutes. Sweet mandarin oranges and crunchy dry-roasted almonds play off the tender baby spinach beautifully, while thinly sliced red onion adds just enough bite to keep every forkful interesting. The real star is the homemade dressing — a zippy blend of fresh orange juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, ginger, and a touch of turmeric that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. Because everything here is built from whole, naturally grain-free ingredients, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden grain-based additives sneaking into your bowl. Rye tends to hide in unexpected places like bottled dressings and pre-seasoned nuts, so making both the dressing and the salad from scratch puts you fully in control. Tear a few fresh mint leaves over the top before serving and you've got a dish that's as stunning on the table as it is satisfying to eat.
