I served this to a group. We liked it but you had to eat it fast because it did wilt rather easy. Flavor was good. Try it and see what you think-it is worth trying! -
VERY delicious salad. The other similar salad that I make has no mayo in the dressing (it's a little more Asian, w/o the mayo), and this recipe has a nice, creamy difference. It's a great salad for making little changes, depending on what you have at hand. I reduced the recipe to serve two, used iceberg & baby spinach, and used one NAVEL ORANGE, plus its juice instead of opening a can of mandarin oranges. I liked the tartness of the fresh orange. I used mayo only (and not Miracle Whip) in the dressing. I put in some raisins, added 2 crisp slices of bacon, crumbled, and a few croutons. And, next time, it could be, that I'll make it a bit differently, but I DID love it this way! -
Great , yet simple, salad. I liked the dressing, too. -
This was awesome! I used field greens instead of romaine and added 1/2 cup of toasted slivered almonds. I brought it to a bridal shower I attended and the guests who ate it gave very favorable reviews. -

I made this salad as an appetizer for my Grandmother's (Ma) birthday dinner and she loved the dressing more than the salad!! I used Bagged Romaine & Fresh Red Leaf Lettuce (per ncmysteryshopper's review because the picture looked so darn gorgeous!!), a couple slivers of Red Onion, Mandarin Oranges and added one slice of Roma tomato cut in half. I also used regular Miracle Whip instead of mayo, and the dressing was really tasty & zingy!! Thanks Mama Kit!!
