Made this salad last night and my husband asked me to make it every day! It will become a staple in my house. Thank you very much for the recipe!

A little on the sweet side - really liked the recipe and will make it again, but will do something to reduce the sweetness.

Very easy and tasty! I didn't have apple cider vinegar, so I just used plain white vinegar, but it still tasted great. I think next time I might try some of the other suggestions about using 1/4 c of oil instead because it was a bit oily. Instead of red leaf lettuce, I just used various salad greens that I had on hand. Also, I used a white onion instead of a red onion (that is what I had on hand). I followed the other tips to soak the onion in water first. I also left out the celery becuase I didn't have any. Very tasty salad!

OUTSTANDING salad! Really, I was quite impressed. This would be a 5 star recipe with the one minor adjustment of reducing the amount of oil in the dressing to equal the vinegar. I also added a few Tablespoons of the orange syrup to the dressing, but I don't know that it made that much difference. I can't wait until my next dinner party. This is sure to be on the menu.

I made this salad for a potluck dinner last night and everyone raved about it and asked for the recipe. I used a combination of red leaf and butter leaf lettuce, substituted Splenda for half the sugar and used raw almonds in order to save on the calories. Delicious!

This is delicious!!! I love the tangy-sweet dressing with the soft manderine oranges and crunchy celery. I made 1/2 the dressing recipe and only used about 2-3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. (for the reviewer asking about what to do with the purple onion - I sliced it thinly and put it in the salad, not the dressing. The color combination of this salad is fantastic. I used 2 frozen cubes of hopped parsley and love how it adds bright green speckles to the dressing.

Great recipe. For the dressing though, I only use 2 T vinegar, 1 T parsley, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 t salt, pepper, and 1 T Splenda. It cuts down on the calories and oil a bit. I don't use the celery either. Works out great!

Question: The recipe doesn't say what to do with the onion. Does it go in the dressing or on the salad? This salad has so many good reviews, I can't wait to make it. But I want it to be just right.

Fabulous! I saved a step and just added slivered almonds from the store, the flavored kind. I also added about one tablespoon of the juice from the canned mandarin oranges to the dressing. I also added some craisins ('cause I love 'em!).

everyone is right- i made it with less oily dressing (using fresh parsley) and less onion (i actually used scallions) and i doubled the almonds, and i substituted avocado for the peppers (which my gf doesn't like). and OH! it was SO GOOD! the combo of the oranges, onions, almonds and avocado was a taste sensation! highly recomended.

Wonderful flavor, we really enjoyed this recipe. My sister-in-law was so impressed that I "candied" my own almonds, and it wasn't even hard to do.

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.

Not bad. It is a good base recipe. The salad itself was excellent. I was not a huge fan of the dressing. I think there is something about dried parsley that I'm not that crazy about. I made it for company, however, and they LOVED it. I would consider substituting poppy seeds for the parsley or using fresh parsley next time.

I've made this salad several times and always receive compliments on it. I usually use baby spinach instead of the salad greens and I add craisins. I sometimes add sesame seeds, a few drops of sesame oil, and a little of the orange juice to the dressing. I will also substitute pine nuts for the almonds sometimes.

Recipe has way too much oil. Switch to 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup oil. Other than that, very nice.

I made this and my family was won over by it. Especially the dressing! That has to be the simplest, most yummy dressing ever! I didnt toss the salad with it though, i let them put on as much as they wanted! everyone went for seconds, and everyone asked for the recipe. (i'm only 13!!!) My dad loved it so much, he made it at the restraunt he works at! It sold bunches.....and was put on as a special!! yummm!
