I really like this salad, but I prefer a different dressing. It was pretty, though, since the maraschino juice turned it pink. I just prefer a non-mayo based dressing, or perhaps I would have liked it better had I thinned it out considerably with some of the mandarin orange juice.

This was a really delicious salad. It had slightly more cherry flavor than I expected (or like) in the dressing, but I just added more mayo to balance it out. Actually, I used plain yogurt for the bulk of it and just a little mayo to round it out. Overall, though, I'd make this again. Yum!

Excellent! I only added toasted pecans and that topped it off!

This was so yummy! I followed the advice of a few people that recommended thinning out the dressing with some of the mandarin orange juice. I also cut back on the amount of the mayo because I wanted to serve this dressed at a pot luck picnic, but I tossed the salad with just some of the dressing and served the rest on the side.

The only changes were to omit the canned mandarins, decrease the mayo to half a cup, added balsamic-candied walnuts (pecans would've been better but I didn't have any) and cinnamon sugar croutons. KILLER SALAD. The dressing still needs a little tweaking for my taste, but this recipe is company-worthy.

Very yummy and fresh summer salad! Made it as written and it came out perfect! I did triple the dressing because I like extra and leftover. Will make again and again! Thanks!

This salad is great! The dressing was so wonderful! The two together almost taste like dessert they are so good. We will have this often. Next time I will add the pecans as another reviewer suggested.

Very tasty and very refreshing on a hot day! I did not have any madarin oranges so skipped those, but I did add some fresh pecan halves and they just shone in this salad! :) Thanks for the recipe!
