Any salad with Mandarin oranges on it has my attention. This one is not an exception. Another fantastic post by Gina. I had never heard of having green beans on a salad before, but it was definitely good! Not to mention it has northern beans too. Add that with the juiciness of the oranges and crisp lettuce, and you have an amazing salad. You could practically make a meal out of this!
