“An out of this world salad that will have your dinner guests begging for the recipe. It is also versatile - summer berries are a nice alternative. I wouldn't normally tout a brand, but the only company I know that makes maple flavored balsamic vinegar is Wildly Delicious in their distinct tall blue bottles.” - by GILLIANMCLENNAN

Ingredients

3/4 cup blanched slivered almonds
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons maple flavored balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 bunch fresh spinach - rinsed, dried and torn into bite size pieces
2 mangos - peeled, seeded, and cubed
