Excellant Salad JB. Lovely flavor and great textures. I just loved it, indeed it was sweet, tart, tangy, salty, citrusy, sharp and delicious. The dressing was very nice, also quick and easy to make. I really enjoyed the addition of the orange rind. It added an extra dimension to the salad. Thanks so much for sharing. Kudos...Kato
