This particular salad mixture is always a winning combination. This dressing is an absolutely perfect for it. I only made half the amount of dressing listed and that was plenty. I used walnuts in place of pecans, but that's all I changed. This is perfect for a light lunch or evento serve to guests. Thanx!

Made this for dinner to go with Recipe#413875#413875. I wasn't sure how much Orange Spread to add (wasn't listed) but I used about 1-1/2 Tbls. I did have to add some sugar (DH and I like ours a little sweeter) and I didn't add water (it was just fine for us in thickness), but overall it made for a good salad.
