Winter Salad
"Since I live in Thailand where I make this salad frequently (at least a couple times a month), I am not so sure about the title of this recipe anymore. It is retained from an unknown issue of "Cooking Pleasures" magazine, where I discovered and modified it only slightly some years ago. Perhaps a better title is the one my former neighbor, Wes, used to refer to it: "The Good Salad." Whatever you call it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."

Yum - we loved this salad! Left out the avocado and bleu cheese for personal preference. The orange and grapefruit were great in this, as was the sweet/spicy/tangy dressing. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011
