Most think of a salad as a starter or a side, but this Mandarin salad can definitely hold its own! It’s got zingy ginger, sweet oranges, and crunchy almonds and they all work blissfully together.

1/2 small onion, roughly chopped

1/2 inch ginger, peeled and roughly

2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

2 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
