I made this recipe following the directions carefully. The salad tasted good, but it was all limp and soggy. No one wanted to try it as it looked so bad! I ate some of it and what i did eat tasted good, although a bit mushy. Would look for a different recipe nex time. and I would use a different type of lettuce as well.

This salad was very good - I will definitely make again. I took some of the suggestions from other reviews. Short cuts like using 2 bags of prepared salad, only 1/4 cup veg oil in the dressing, & bagged seasoned almond slices. I also added craisins and some crunchy chow mein noodles. My friends were impressed.

This is one of the best salads I've tried on this site-I loved it as did my husband. Surprisingly, I loved the almonds and I typically hate them. I didn't add the celery (personal preference), used green lettuce rather than red, and halved the entire recipe. As most salads of this sort (in my opinion), it doesn't necessarily keep very well so don't toss the dressing until you're almost ready to serve. Wonderful! Thanks! :)

Absolutely Delicious! As per prior suggestions I used half the amount of oil and a mixture of red leaf and romaine lettuce. Using bagged seasoned toasted almond slices saves a step and cuts the sweetness a bit. You may want to add about half of the dressing at first and then finish adding to taste. Even my husband ( "You are putting oranges in WHAT"? ) loved it!!

This is a wonderful salad, esp. for winter. The dressing is a wonderful blend that is so tasty and compliments the fruit perfectly. I made a few changes, but nothing that affects the salad. I used toasted blanched olives, a mix of romaine and baby spinach, added cranraisins, extra oranges, and soaked the onions in water for an hour and then drained them (this helps to take the bite out of the onions.) Just a wonderful salad. Thanks Doreen!

Very good salad! I took it to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - each family gave it rave reviews. I'm now getting "famous" for bringing such wonderful green salads to family dinners. I did add butter to the almonds when sugaring and only used about 1/4 of the dressing. Delicious!!!
