It's health week! Or, another attempt at eating healthier than I tend to do.

Today is gigantic-salad-for-lunch day. It's kind of like, my worst nightmare. But I have a lot of time on my hands, so I worked real hard to jazz this one up. It's surprisingly good. Perhaps because it's loaded with mandarin oranges and almonds, so it's basically like the healthy version of candy.



I just eyeballed it for a majority of the recipe, but I tried to give you actual measurements. It's totally okay to exceed them...this is one recipe where it's actually healthy to add more. Not like my usual butter/oil/sugar concoctions. Enjoy!

*These are DEFINITELY just estimates, as I ended up just winging it and going by taste!
