Submitted by twissis

"Another recipe I stumbled across & fell in love with on a search for something else. My recipe source is "The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest" by Mollie Katzen. Recipes w/10 min prep times always get my attention (esp ones w/flavor combos like this one!) & the serving method sounded like so much fun to do w/your family or at a dinner party w/friends. :-)"

The presentation is what makes this salad shine! I loved how the toppings come together to provide such yummy flavor - the honey-cinnamon oranges are awesome. I thew in a little red pepper since I had some to use up. Great salad! Made for ZWT6.

This recipe is from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook by the Moosewood author Mollie Katzen!!! Is the best salad.

This was definately something different for me. I enjoyed the crisp freshness of this salad. I think it paires well with lighter fare such as tuna or salmon and some rice pilaf. My only mistake in making this recipe is that I had it with a pasta dish that did not balance well with the salad. I would definately call this salad "very good" if I had ordered it in a cafe. Thanks for sharing with us.

Perfectly delicious! The radishes really compliment the orange -but dh picked his out. LOL! And love the cinnamon. I like Molly Katzen's recipes. Thanks twissis for posting. Made for Unrulies Under the Influence during ZWT6.

Excellent! Must admit I was a little apprehensive that oil was not going to be enough, but it was PERFECT! Thanks for sharing.
