Begin by breaking up one package of ramen noodles into small pieces.
Sauté the raw ramen noodles, almonds and garlic in a pan over medium low heat with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Once the ramen noodles and almonds have turned golden brown remove from heat and let cool.
To assemble the salad add a few handfuls of spring mix to a large bowl.
Top with thinly sliced red onions, cucumbers, and mandarin oranges.
Drizzle on the poppyseed dressing and toss until everything is evenly incorporated.
Top with the crunchy ramen noodle topping and enjoy!
