Sweet Spinach Salad

3 Tbsp orange juice concentrate
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp chopped onion
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 pkg (10oz) fresh baby spinach
1 can (15oz) mandarin oranges, drained
2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

In a blender, combine the orange juice concentrate, sugar, vinegar, onion, and salt.  While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.  Stir in poppy seeds.  Transfer to a small pitcher or bowl.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.

On salad plates, arrange the spinach, oranges, and almonds.  Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
