This is VERY good. I gave it 4 stars because I think the dressing should be changed a little. Use SESAME OIL instead of olive oil and use 2 TBSP. of balsamic instead of 2 teaspoons. Your Dressing will be much more flavorful and authentic. I also took the suggestion for the dried cranberries, very nice touch! It also helps if you use a high quality dijon.

Of all the orange salad recipes on this site, this one has the most potential in the dressing. The dressing alone merits 5 stars, though I do think the rest of the salad could have a little more substance. It's perfect as a flavorful side salad as is, but to make it a meal, I would take some of the recommendations and add dried cranberries, or maybe some thin strips of chicken to make it more filling. But, as it stands, great fast recipe.

Very simple salad and easy to throw together. Citrus salad dressing has zing to it.

This salad was delicious and the dressing was SPECTACULAR! I didn't have orange juice, so I put a few pieces of mandarin in the blender and made my own mandarin juice as a substitute. I replaced the honey with white sugar, and used sesame oil instead of olive oil; I used only about 3/4 of the garlic clove and it was just fine. We enjoyed the dressing so much that we were drinking it from the plates (bad manners much, I know!). As for the salad, I pretty much tossed in everything I could find: mung bean sprouts, half a cucumber, an apple, slivered almonds, cooked & sliced eggs... I didn't have walnuts though, but it was delicious anyway. I'll definitely try this again! Yummm!

This was really good and healthy. I used toasted almonds in place of the walnuts and a dash of ground ginger in place of ginger root.

The dressing on this recipe was AWESOME!!! I think you could change up the actual salad ingredients and still come out with a winner. My girl friends all asked for the recipe after our luncheon (but my kids didn't like it at all--I guess it was too different for them). Would be a great bridal or baby shower salad.

REally yummy. I made this to serve to dinner guests. Salad went got over really fast. My husband wanted to have it next day for lunch, and he is not a big fan of salads !! Only thing I did different was to use less balsamic vinegar than suggested.

This salad was very easy, however the dressing has a little too much garlic. it does have a zing to it indeed. If I make this again I will reduce the garlic. I did like that it was recipe for two!
