This was a really tasty dressing! I, too, upped the marmalade to 2-3 Tbsp. I will definitely make this again; thanks! I've since made this several more times, including once, for co-workers (5 of them), who all asked for the recipe, so that should be 6 five-star reviews, right? -
Outstanding combination of flavors! I doubled the orange marmalade in the dressing, making the only change I made to the recipe. This is excellent and could be served with any variety of different meals. Thank you, SusieQusie! -
Loved this salad! I used almonds in place of the walnuts and otherwise followed the recipe. I used a high quality balsamic vinegar and it was the predominant flavor in the dressing (didn't mind one bit). You may want to increase the marmalade if you would like a pronounced orange flavor. -
Delicious salad! I used white wine vinegar in place of the bassamic and added some grated Fontina cheese for a wonderful salad. Thanks for sharing this keeper salad!
