Really, really good. I almost didn't sugar the almonds, but I'm really glad I did. They were the best part! Will definitely make again!

This is a wonderful quick and easy salad. The red wine vinager gives it an excellent, tangy taste. This salad looks great and never fails to impress.

AWESOME!! This salad rocks! If you like sweet, it's for you. I added some dried cranberries to it (about 1 cup to 1.5 cups would be good). The almonds really add a nice flavor, just don't overcook them. Thanks, Bonnie. I'm sure I'll be making this again.

What a delicious salad! The oranges give it great color, and the dressing & almonds are so good. I left the onions out & served them on the side. My guests loved it! The other day I made this & added avocado, which was great too. The almonds are a cinch, but once they start to brown they can burn quickly.

This was wonderful. I made it for a dinner for 8 and it was gone in no time. I used spinach instead of romaine. Perfect, otherwise.

Very good salad. I served it for a dinner with friends and it was well received. I thought the vinegar taste in the dressing was a little strong. I will probably use a pre-made rasberry vinaigrette the next time.

Delicious and easy. To save a step, I used the pre-packaged honey roasted slivered almonds available at most supermarkets. My Mother usually will not eat salad w/nuts and fruit but as soon as she tasted this, she asked for the recipe! She makes it more often than I do now.

Excellent blend of flavors & colors! My husband had been asking for more meal-type salads for dinner (trying to watch the waistline). I made this as directed and added some cubed cooked chicken for protein. He couldn't stop raving about it! My only recommendation to those trying this for the 1st time is don't turn your back on those almonds for a second! They burn easy!

My only thought to add would be to keep stirring those almonds in the sugar until melted don't wait until the melting begins. Great salad.

DELISH!! I made this for a Mother's Day Brunch and everyone loved it. My mom even asked for the recipe. Very easy to make. I left out the green onions and it was still a big hit. I put the leftover salad and dressing in a container and took it to work the next day... still wonderful! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I brought this salad to Easter dinner. My mother grandmother who are wonderful cooks loved the salad. My sister, who is always honest, told me she loved it and wouldn't change a thing. I, on the other hand, thought the dressing need a little something. Maybe the olive oil gave it a little bitterness? I had leftovers and added raspberry vinagrette to the dressing and I enjoyed the salad a lot better! I would make it again. The almonds made the salad.

Almonds were very good but adding to the salad almost made it a little too sweet - especially with the oranges. If I made this recipe again I'd either leave them out entirely or just toast them instead. Dressing was good - sweet with a kick. Overall good recipe.
