If there’s anything Annenberg desperately needs, it’s a reliable supply of mandarin oranges. On the wonderful days that the salad/deli bar is stocked, I’ll add them to my meal as a side or in a tasty salad. This recipe is only a small deviation from my tuna pasta salad, as the simple olive oil-white vinegar vinaigrette also happens to work amazingly well with mandarin oranges. Who knew?
