Author Notes
I created this after a walnut vendor told me he blended tangerines and walnuts together to use as a salad dressing. The idea is very simple and a great base for whatever you might like to add! —beyondcelery

Ingredients
-
2
Tangerines or Mandarin oranges
-
1/2 cup
Walnuts
-
1 tablespoon
Olive oil
-
1 teaspoon
Apple cider vinegar (optional)
-
Salt to taste
Directions
-
Peel tangerines, pulling most of the white strings off and separating the sections. Remove any seeds.
-
Add tangerine sections, walnuts, and olive oil to a spice grinder or small blender. A food processor would work too.
-
Blend till smooth and creamy. Add more olive oil if it isn't blending easily, but the juice from the tangerines should be enough.
-
Season to taste, with salt and apple cider vinegar. Sometimes the vinegar is needed if the citrus is very sweet. Sometimes it's nice to leave it out.
-
Toss over your favorite salad. I recommend spinach with nuts and dried cranberries.
