When it comes to dinner-worthy salads, this one takes the cake. The mandarin oranges give it a burst of freshness while the Parmesan gives it a bite of sharpness and nuttiness. Its homemade poppy seed vinaigrette (super-simple!) is unbelievably addicting and takes this salad to the next level. Keep the extra vinaigrette in the fridge and use it on everything! Add some simple grilled chicken to turn this salad into a meal.
