awesome!

This was very good and refreshing. A good spring salad. I left the cheese on the side and let people add their own.

Needed a bit of a kick. I also used some juice from the mandarin oranges for the dressing.

Made the recipe just as stated for a serving of 6. However, my husband and I enjoyed it so much we ate the entire salad ourselves. Very tasty!

I chopped up red leaf lettuce, regular lettuce, rucola and spinach for the salad. I had to peel mandarin oranges cuz i didnt have a can of m-oranges on hand and it was a pain in the butt but tasted really good, more natural. The m-orange, gorgonzola and almond matched totally well together. I chopped up other types of nuts to put in the salad--walnuts, peanuts and cashews and it was still very good. There was plenty of taste with just (olive) oil, juice and red wine vinegar as the dressing. I squeezed a mandarin orange and got the juice from that instead of the syrup, and Im glad I did that because it didnt taste too sugary sweet. Will definitely make again!

This is my staple salad--the one I can always pull out and have it be a hit. Over the years, I've made slight modifications--mostly in how I make the dressing (I add either a little honey or agave nectar to make the dressing a bit sweeter). Sometimes I add strawberries in the summer. A little coarse-ground pepper helps this salad too.

This salad tastes fantastic and is super easy to make. I have made it countless times and everyone always loves it. I recommend adding the hot almonds on top of the gorgonzola so that it melts the cheese a little bit into the dressing.

Easy and a great blend of flavors.

This salad was excellent! I used a spring mix and followed the advice of other users and added twice the amount of the mandarin orange juice. It turned out perfect! Next time I make this, I think I would like to try pecans and maybe spinach as some of the other reviewers recommended. I definitely recommend trying this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

I love this salad. I made it for a luncheon at school and everyone was asking for the recipe. The only thing I changed was that I left out the almonds as I don't like them.

I really liked the salad, but I found the dressing to be a bit bland,it felt too runny and just not anything too great. So, I did tweak it a bit by increasing the oil to 1/3 cup oil, adding the 2 TBS of red wine vinegar, 4 TBS of orange juice, 2 TBS orange marmalade, 2 TBS sugar, pepper & salt. I found the orange marmalade to be the kick that it needed! I also added slices of red onion and real mandarin orange slices instead of the canned stuff. I know - I know... I changed it all around, but it *really* made a difference! It went over really well and everyone raved!

This salad is a favorite. I make it for almost every get together we have and we always get complements.

Good salad. I used double the amount of vinegar and pine nuts instead of almonds. The dressing needed the extra vinegar. Made in indivdual bowls so leftovers won't be soggy

Easier, so tasty, so colorful, and it made my husband and I rave about this recipe....it wasn't a side dish---it was the MAIN dish!!!!

This salad won over big time as an alternative to traditional Thanksgiving side dishes -- at two households! Snappy, refreshing and delicious even if you're not a fan of green salad.

What a nice change from my usual cranberry, walnut, gorgonzola salad! Here were my changes, but out of respect to the original, they are only my own... I used spinach for the greens. I used orange juice instead of that stuff in the can. I used an Orange Muscat Vinegar that I had found at Trader Joe's. I used slivered almonds instead. And olive oil, of course. I also did not measure anything, which I never do. It was really yummy. I do think that red onions would have been wonderful, but in the interest of making out, I didn't add them. Make this salad!

the oranges make for a wonderful flavor. the cheese is very strong (like blue cheese) so i wouldn't use quite as much. i would also increase the vinegar amount in the dressing or purchase a bottled sesame dressing to brighten the flavor. over all, it's a great summer salad for something different.
