This is a delicious salad. I've made it twice now--once with romaine, green-leaf and butter lettuces topped with Recipe #23478, and another time with baby spinach and baby spring mix topped with Recipe #176952. I usually toast nuts dry, either in a skillet or in the oven, and toasting the walnuts in butter was a nice touch. I love mandarin oranges, and I like that this salad has a lot of them. :) Both times I've made it, I was only making it to serve two, so I pretty well just eyeballed ingredient amounts. Great salad--thanks for posting!

I must have read for hours here before I found what I was looking for - trying to replicate a salad I had at a dinner party recently - and this was dead on. I could eat nothing but this salad and be happy! I was pressed for time so I bought glazed walnut pieces rather than toasting them myself - adds some extra sweetness that I really liked but I'll try it your way when I have more time. Thanks!

I?m ?originally from Texas, but now live in Florida. Still gotta have that spice though....love chipotle peppers, habaneros, and jalapenos. This is a picture of myself & my 2 daughters taken in Dec'06. I am working on my graduate degree, & still work as a nurse prn. When I'm not cooking and eating what I cook... I head for the gym to work out. As far as cookbooks, I love the church/ community cookbooks, where someone has dug out old handwritten recipes by granny and shared them with others-those are the best kind. If I had a month off, I'd for sure go hiking, would love to visit Australia and New Zealand.?
