Who says salads are boring? This Asian-inspired recipe has a sweet, tangy homemade dressing, toasted crunchy nuts, juicy oranges, tender baby spinach and flaked tuna. It's a complete meal in a bowl. When it's citrus season, peel a couple of seedless clementines and separate them into segments to use instead of the canned oranges. If you can't eat nuts or don't feel like buying them, swap in some raisins instead. To make this a no-cook meal, skip toasting the nuts. But if you have time, we suggest you do. Heating the nuts enhances their flavor.
