Why do we call this salad "green and gold," you ask? Well, it's simple, really. The mixture of the leafy green spinach and the mangoes and oranges make this a colorful sight to behold! Plus, we've included this refreshing citrus dressing that really livens up the entire plate. Throw in a few pecans too, and you've got the perfect combination of textures for an easy salad recipe that rivals anything you'd find at your favorite restaurant.
