PREP ORANGES: If using fresh mandarin oranges, peel them well, removing as much of the white pith as desired. If using canned oranges, drain the orange slices from the liquid they are stored in.
MAKE DRESSING: Combine all dressing ingredients together in a small jar or bowl. Shake or whisk to combine.
PLATE SALAD: Plate salad on a large serving platter or bowl. Start with baby greens as the base, following with orange slices, dried cranberries, almonds, mint, and crumbled goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.*Note: Tossing the goat cheese will make the salad a little creamy throughout – if you’d prefer to avoid this, you are welcome to add the goat cheese crumbles after tossing the other ingredients in the dressing.
TOSS IN DRESSING: Toss salad in lemon dressing right before serving. Enjoy!
