"On a wintery cold day here in Ontario, I often serve a bit of Florida sunshine with this fresh tasting salad. It is wonderful with a chicken sandwich, and a cold glass of Chenin Blanc wine."

This delicious salad brightened up my day no end. The dressing is fantastic. I could drink it alone. I'm not quite sure as to what mesclun salad greens are, so used an assortment of leaf lettuce instead. I kept to the recipe for everything else. My only problem was that I'm no good at sectioning citrus fruit. I do think there is a special tool available. May have to look into it for next time. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

Canada

I'm Danish-Canadian! I immigrated to Canada in 1968 and lived in B.C. until 1979, then we had the wonderful opportunity to live in Hawaii for almost 3 years. We moved to Southern Ontario in 1982. Of profession, I'm a Doctor of Human Biochemistry, specializing in Nutrition, a Doctor of Homeopathic Medicine, and a Registered Nutrition Consultant Practitioner, I have my own full time practice. My passion is cooking! I have tested and tried over 10.000 recipes over the last 30 years on my beloved husband who is now residing in a Long Term Facility with Dementia, so I have to make meals for one, healthy and simple. />My pet peeve is too much garlic in a creamy rich sauce. My favourite cookbook is the one I have made myself over the past 40 years. My interests are knitting Scandinavian socks, sweaters, reading. If I had a month off I would visit our adult children and 4 year old Granddaughter, who resides in British Columbia and Florida, and cook them their favorite meals.
