    I added more apple, avocado and it doesn’t say to put in mandarin oranges but the picture showed it so I did. 10 oz if greens is a lot without extra fruit.

    Have made this twice, omitting the almonds to cut calories. Delicious sweet salad!

    Very refreshing! I made it with half the sugar and added shredded carrots. It was a little acidic. I will reduce the vinegar next time. I think using fresh oranges would also be good and you could increase the amount of toasted almonds.

    Made this salad for our Super Bowl party last weekend. It was a group favorite. I only changed the recipe by substituting roasted almonds with caramelized almonds.

    The key to this salad is the mixture of the bitter greens the sweet oranges and the crunchy almonds...simple & delicious. The dressing is good but I just use a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

    Very acidic. Instead of sugar used some of the drained mandarin orange juice and a squirt of honey also a little more oil. Added cranberries and sweet onion.
