I used the peel of one whole orange chopped, I used a navel orange, and it was so bitter the sauce wasn't even edible. Then I made a second batch without the orange and combined it and it was still horrible, I think a much smaller portion of perhaps just a tablespoon or 2 of fresh grated orange peel would have been better. I ended up serving it at my family Thanksgiving dinner with 16 people, total flop, no one liked it.

Overall I loved this recipe! Although I used shell shaped noodles. The dressing was what really made it great I think. My sister-in-law loved it so much I gave her my only printed copy, she tried her hand at it and my brother loves it, too. I love celery now but I sure didn't when I was a kid, hence the lower kid-rating.
