Mandarin Orange Salad has bright, fresh flavors and a little crunch. It’s bursting with delicious flavors. The best part it takes just minutes to make.

Lookie, lookie what I have. Some times I like a simple dinner. Truth is, I add a fresh salad to a Marie Callender’s frozen meal on the regular during busy school nights.

I love it when I can use short-cut products for family meals. I grab a Marie Callender’s frozen meal and add a fresh salad to balance it out. By doing this I save a ton of time in the kitchen and still provide a delicious meal for my family. My Three Meat & Four Cheese Lasagna took 13 minutes to cook in the microwave. While it was cooking, I made this tasty Mandarin Orange Salad.

I used baby kale, but any salad green would work in this salad. For the salad, you’ll simply drain the oranges and toast the ramen noodles. You can do this easily during the time the lasagna is cooking.

There are only four ingredients in the salad dressing. You can mix it and shake it all in a jar, making for a quick and easy dressing.

 This meal is so easy with great flavor combos. I find it impossible to get tired of lasagna, seriously I could eat it every day! The bright citrus salad brings it all together.

    I just love using shortcuts in the kitchen sometimes. I mean, there are evenings when you just don’t have the time to prepare a meal from scratch. This is such a great idea to pair a fresh salad with a Marie Callendar’s lasagna! 🙂 And what a great cause they are helping to support!
