Mandarin Orange, Gorgonzola and Almond Delight

This is an easy and flavorful citrus salad. The cheese makes it great, so use as much as you wish.

Ingredients:
 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, juice reserved
 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
 12 ounces mixed salad greens
 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese

Directions:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add almonds, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons reserved mandarin orange juice, oil, and vinegar.
In a large salad bowl, toss together the toasted almonds, mandarin oranges, mixed salad greens, and Gorgonzola cheese. Just before serving, pour dressing on salad, and toss to coat.
