Loved it. My husband said I should reduce the red onion in it, but I was happy with it. Dressing was great and the combination of flavors was wonderful. I cut the oil in half but left the rest of the dressing ingredients the same.

This is a really refreshing salad - great in the spring and summer.

This made a lovely salad - I used butter lettuce mix and it added a softness that was really enjoyed. I found the dressing a little bland...DEFINITELY needed salt and it seemed to need a touch more acid too despite the OJ and vinegar. I added more vinegar and OJ and a little more olive oil to balance and then it was more flavorful...but still a tiny bit thin. Everyone at the party LOVED this salad - so I would highly recommend it. BTW, I wish they'd give prep time including PREP - sectioning oranges can be very time consuming!

I made 1/2 recipe and still got enough ingredients to make at least 4 large salads. I like the dressing and that it was mild tasting. I put the ingredients in a container with a twist on lid, making that part very easy to mix by shaking. The blue cheese and walnuts were a great addition. I didn't toast the walnuts, because I don't care for them that way, and most nuts are sold roasted anymore anyhow. However, I thought the oranges were horribly out of place. I couldn't eat them with the other ingredients. I also had to cut the amount of onion in half as it was too dominant. Other than that, it tasted fine but seemed like it was missing something? It was kind of boring and the ingredients didn't come together much taste wise. Also, one would definitely have to eat something else with this. It is just too light to be any kind of a meal salad for me.

Dressing is really good but it does contain a lot of sugar.

This was a great salad. I used canned mandarin oranges and didn't bother with the dressing. I just used EVOO and Balsamic vin.

Loved it. A delicious combination. Was skeptical about the dressing but it ended up being light and not too sweet!

This was delicious! I used mandarin oranges instead of navel oranges and also used dried cranberries. I made the dressing as written and substituted equal amount of splenda for the sugar. I thought that as written the dressing was too sweet, so I had to add more balsamic to take the sweet edge off. I'd add less sugar next time. Also, serve the dressing on the side. The dressing makes a lot and it's easy to saturate the salad if you dump it all on.

The dressing was a little sweet and could use some salt but the flavor combination is so good I have to give it 5 stars even though I'll cut the sugar way down next time. Wonderfully refreshing on a warm summer evening.
