Very delicious. Definitely cut the sugar down to 1 cup. I used ginger ale and halved the recipe since I had 20 guests. The punch was perfectly slushy if you take the bag out of the freezer and put on the COUNTER 2-3 hours before....make sure you do not thaw in the fridge or you will need much longer than 2-3 hours. Garnishing Tip: Cherries, Strawberries and Orange Slices

I was so excited to try this salad, but was disappointed because I didn't really think the dressing matched the concept of a mandarin orange salad. I would have thought it would have more of an asian flavor. I would recommend the following: -you only need about 2 tbsp. of onion and make sure you mince very fine and put into the actual dressing -add chow mein noodles -add sesame seeds -change the dressing - I would recommmend trying an asian sesame dressing. I am going to try that next time to see if it tastes better. I hear Good Seasons has an Asian Sesame that you just have to add the vinegar, oil and water to. I've looked all around and most stores don't carry it, but it is available online for purchase. Keep in mind...what I was going after was a salad similar the Oriental Chicken Salad at Friendly's.
