    *Note: When making this salad, I actually used about, 4 (4-ounce) mini-bowls of mandarin oranges. Which comes in a 4-pack, rather than using the (11-ounce) can of mandarin oranges. I added desired amount of sliced green onion, and fresh strawberries. (Probably adding more of the strawberries, and a bit less of the green onion.)
