    I didn t use olives because of guests preferences. Sprinkled with dried cranberries and thin slices red onion. Made again for dinner guests and will make again. Very good

    Thank you so much! My husband and I both gobbled this up. I sprinkled some pepitos on top for extra crunch. Next time I will make this with an arugula salad blend and add more Kalamata olives.

    The orange vinaigrette for this recipe was "out-of-this-world" delicious. I had no lemons so I used lime juice and about a tablespoon of cranberry juice for color along with the orange juice and vinegar specified. This is such a refreshing and unusual salad.

    Absolutely delicious! I used fresh fennel from my CSA as well as a dark leafy lettuce. I love the combo of the fennel and orange. For the dressing I didn't have Dijon mustard so I used a little regular yellow mustard and used apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar.

    This is a wonderful salad with a pleasing combination of orange and fennel. I used a ready to use herb salad mix and it was warmly received at a dinner for eight.
