I cup drained mandarin wedges.
Mix sweet and sour, raspberry vinaigrette and mustard sauce in a bowl. Add chia seeds to it and set aside
Heat a large skillet.
Add 2 tsp olive oil and sauté cranberry and nut mix for 10-15 seconds. Turn gas off and Add all the spinach and dressing to the skillet. Toss gently. Don't over wilt the spinach. Remove into a cold storage container. Add mandarin slices and Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes and serve chilled. Optional  sprinkle sea salt, pepper or pepper flakes.
