Delicious; light and fresh tasting. I usually like to have lots of veggies to toss in a salad, but only had romaine and carrots on hand. So my salad was simply romaine, navel orange chunks, and carrot ribbons. I adapted the dressing recipe for lemon juice (what I had on hand) and for hubby's anti-viniagrette tastes. I omitted the vinegar completely; used 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, only 2 Tbsp oil, 1 whole Tbsp honey, no cilantro, and same amount of mustard. We both loved it!! Thanks!

This salad just makes you smile! In every way, too! I followed this exactly, seriously no need to change anything, except I had to use a sweet white onion instead of red. (didn't have any). I had fresh citrus from the holidays, and they were so juicy, coupled with the fresh spinach, this made a marvelous, great tasting salad. Thanks, Mommy Diva! Made for Mommy Diva Cookathon! 2011
